RE: Special Characters in IE 6

Thanks David.
 Just to nitpick :-)

If there is a HEAD element, then the html output method should add a META
element immediately after the start-tag of the HEAD element specifying the
character encoding actually used. For example,

<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=EUC-JP">
...


So its added,.... but only if you include a <head> element in the output.
So yes, I was wasting my time... for ie 6, and since I added the <head>
element.

regards DaveP
  



  I'm informed that ie6 is happiest when both 
  the encoding is specified, and the meta tag is included too.

   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=utf-8"/>


But IE6 doesn't really do XHTML at all and the above is misleading if
you are generating html as the XSL system will add the meta element
automatically and users should not explictly add one in the 
stylesheet.
