Re: HTML Forms, utf-8, windows and perl

Just curious, but

is the browser you're using IE6
do you have your browser's encoding set to Auto-Select
are you specifying the encoding within a <META> tag

If you are, please let me know - I'm currently tracking down a rather weird bug where IE6's Auto-Select doesn't always work and it's screwing up some UTF-8 input/display stuff.

Update: For those who care, it turns out that for popup windows, under certain circumstances, IE will screw up the Auto-Select if you don't have a <title> tag. Go figure.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
