Ever heard of this FireFox bug? 4

[Sleidia]

Hi guys,

It's the second time this bug occures and on two different sites of mine.

The problem is that the site looks fine on my local server (localhost) but some areas of the layout get broken once it's online. The local files and the remote files are exactly the same. No doubt about that. Plus, it occures only on FireFox. IE, Opera and Safari are fine.

What could it be?
I suppose that it's a bug thas has something to do with the delay it takes for the page to load (which is way shorter on local computer).
What do you think?

Thanks

What charset are you specifying in your meta tags?

Try switching between utf-8 or ISO-8859-1. You should be able to show accented characters with either of these but I think it depends on how the document was originally encoded.

If you aren't specifying a charset meta tag then you are using the server's default which may be different to the one you need.

I'm not expert with multi-language support but I've built a couple of sites that use it and they don't have problems displaying accented characters.
One in particular has English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German languages pulled from a database all of which seem to render perfectly.

I'd show you but it's a private extranet site. What's more it seems their in house developer has got hold of it and added some features. Breaking the standards compliance by not putting quotes around attributes and other evil crimes. Ironically, one thing he's added is a forum - which is non-standard and looks horrid.
