Default Charset

[alsaffar]

Hi there,

Although I have the following line in the header of my script BUT I'm not getting it working!

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">

The page got displayed using Unicode (UTF-8) NOT Arabic (Windows) as I want!

One thing to be mentioned, I'm running my site for the first time on my new dediated server thats running Apache 2.0.52, so maybe its to due with the Apache settings!

Where did I go wrong?! Thanks in advance

What browser is it not working in? When I put that line in a file, it works for me in Firefox 1.5 (using IIS aas a server).

You mean the Internet Browser?

I'm using IE6 SP2

I don't have any problem in another server!

Then it might be worth asking this in the Apache forum, given it seems to be an Apache-specific problem.

It's Apache issue. Change (or comment) AddDefaultCharset parameter in httpd.conf: Apache sends this code in http header (has priority over meta tags).
