Will it catch correctly old browsers like Netscape 1 and MSExplorer 1?Another solution I am trying now is to asume everyone is a PC, and let the Mac try to be compatible. I have placed:
on all my pages, and I have stored the data in the databases as PC native accented characters.On Explorer 2 running on Windows NT, it works, since everything defaults to PC stuff.On Netscape 4 on the Mac, it also works. Aparently Netscape 4 is smart enough to do the conversions automatically.The question is now to try other older Mac browsers to see if they all handle the charset=iso-8859-1 correctly. Also, what about unix, sun?Does anyone have any experience in these matters?
