Add charset to page headers?
« on: September 30, 2004, 02:54:42 AM »
The website's character set is undefined, when it should be ISO Latin 1. I keep having to switch encodings in order to see curly quotes.

charset=_CHARSET

should read

charset=iso-8859-1

in order to match the encoding of the text you've got on the site.

That's because we enjoy makeing your internet browseing experence painful.

From the looks of it the Charset is being read in as a varable from somewhere, but honestly does seeing your quotes as curly ones realy matter that much?  Or are you just a straight quote hater?

Just kidding. Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out, Ook.

Actually when an article used curly quotes (and apostrophes), they just didn't show up at all, so I was seeing lots of words like "dont wont cant Ill" etc. and it was distracting.

Thanks.

Odd, never noticed that before. Guess some browers use a default if there's no charset defined.

I wonder if that will fix the infamous 'bringing in curly quotes from MS Word' bug.  Let's see:

Modification--guess not....
