Hi all,
when my documents are using iso-8859-1 (Latin 1) as char set I have some
problems with displaying my JS dialogs correct with none international
characters (å, ä and ö). Allthough this hasen't got anything to do with PHP,
does anyone have any good idéas on how to solve this?

Normaly I use UTF-8 as char set, but in this case I need to use iso-8859-1
(Latin 1).

Thanks // Jonas

Jonas:

The iso-8859-1 char-set does include the characters you mention, so using either utf-8 or iso-8859-1 should work, but that isn't the problem with displaying the characters in html.

As to how to solve the problem, I would look into using Unicode characters, such as &#224 (HEX 00E5) OR look into using html characters such as à which both are å.

Some references:

http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/latin1.html
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/charset/
http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html

I used both in displaying:

This example does not speak for all browsers -- I shall remove/replace soon.

As for a look-up table for displaying these types of characters, I remember someone writing one for this list a few months ago -- you might look there. If you find it, please provide to me privately.

Thanks.
