Character set problems!

[Geert]

For example a name like Håkan Björkman is displayed properly through out the page.
But if between the !!< >!! (html codation) it outputs questionmarks on the å and ö!

The html carachter set I tried UTF-8 and also ISO-8859-1 and some others!

What can I do to solve this?!

[gabrielcrowe]

nasty hack:

!!<H>!!å!!<kan Bj>!!ö!!<rkman>!!

see what i did there?

hahah.

Did you remove the funny buggers from being parsed as html?

[gabrielcrowe]

well, i simply stopped parsing, then started parsing afterwards.


like this:

xxxxxxxxxxxx>!!y!!<xxxxxxxxxxxx

where x is a normal char, and y represents our odd character.

its a bit fiddly. the problem lies deep within the way that actinic parses the html, perhaps someone more able to answer why can posy?

[Geert]

I prefer to get a fix in the HTML parsing.
Because changing all the ', ", å, ö, ë in over a 600 products to keep them parsing outside the html just to much work!

If there would be a search and replace option on the actinic on all products it would allready be easier tho..

If you're confident with Access you could do the search and replacing in the database with an Access query.
