It's me again. I might have solved it... in a way. Still quite puzzled about
why IE don't give a dime about the meta encoding line in the html head tag.
Here's what I did. The aforementioned header file now adds a header()
statement sending a content-type that also tells the charset, utf-8. :
---snip---
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
---snip---
I don't know if it's the best way to solve it but IE seems happy with it,
and I haven't seen any sideeffects in FF so far.
