hmmm actually it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work on the same screen... sometimes the characters will be correct.. then if I refresh they are wrong....

Does your properties file have those "funny" characters in it?Try running it through the "native2ascii" application (comes with JDK) http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/index.html#intl

No the properties file is "funny" character free. I'll check into the native2ascii and see if that is the problem.... but I wouldn't think it would be since it works sometimes.

Just re-read the first post.

You say it works in one place and not anther?

Check for content-type/character-encoding tags.

<%@ page pageEncoding=

<%@ page contentType= ....

Most probably the page that works will have them. (worth a look anyway)

Neither pages have either set... so the default is being used...
