Encoding Problem Internet Explorer

markj4913 · Jun 23, 2005

This may have been posted before and I apologise if it has and if I have posted in the wrong section as this is my first post.

On Internet Explorer when I visit our websites at www.uktravelagent.biz The £ signs show as a ? So ok no problem I go to View, encoding and change from UTF-8 to western European. This fixes the problem but only on the page I have change dit on. Also once logged out the change does not stay permanent and reverts to the same problem - infuriating. Anyone know how I make Western European the default encoding and permamnent.

Tnaks for your help

You have to change the source-page on your PC as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>your title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

The charset will keep £ as £

Whomever maintains that website needs to make the changes in the webpage-source, then upload the changed pages to the website.
This is obviously not your cup of tea (or your responsibility).
