problem with characters 1

[remco5897]

Hi, I am reading text data out of a Fox Pro table and displaying it using ASP.

Unfortunately I get 2 different results in the 2 major browsers. Firefox seems to work and IE5.5 & 6 does not seem to work.

The problem is that characters like e-accent (é) show up like chinese signs (or japanese).

e.g. Firefox (correct):
Stel dat er op één Faktuur én Statiegeld wordt gecrediteerd én Goederen

e.g. IE 5.5 (wrong)
Stel dat er op ? Faktuur ?Statiegeld wordt gecrediteerd ?
Goederen

IE6 shows little squares where there is an e-accent.


Other info:

I am using transitional HTML and the following charset:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />




Any ideas anybody?
