International Char. Sets
Hello,
Does anyone know how to force the browser
to use a particular charset with JSP?
I am trying to write a page in Japanese,
but the browser keeps switching to
the default ISO. I have already
tried setting the contentType in the
page tag, but I can not find a listing
anywhere of legal char sets.
The funny thing is, up until a few days ago,
my browser automatically used the correct
char set to display the Japanese characters.
Any help would be great. I have been
scavenging the Internet for several days
and have come up with nothing.
Thanks!
Phil
Thanks for the reply.
Very strange results though.
Before, I was either adding the content
type in the page tag, but that did not work.
Then I was trying adding the meta tag, as
you just suggested, but I did not know the
correct charset type.
After adding your meta tag, nothing happened.
But then I also added the charset in the page
tag, and now it works!
As a background, I am running Tomcat on
WinME. A possible problem is to get
it running, I have to start java on the main
class, because the batch files will not work
due to static environment vars and clearing
my classpath. Also strange. So I am wondering
if part of the original problem is my server.
Another background point is a few weeks ago
it worked. Only in the last couple of days
did it stop working.
Thanks for the input!
