IE displaying empty page

M

Mike

Just wondering if any one has seen this before. I
currently have IE 6.0.2800.1106 browser. I just recently
installed the latest ms updates from microsoft and
something very strange is happening with my browser. I'm
currently developing a web site in English/French
languages. In the French pages, if I try viewing an html
page that has this sequence of characters in the title tag:

<html>
<head>
<title>santé</title>
</head>
<body>
Test 1 2 3
</body>
</html>

For some reason the page does not display any content.
I've tried several tests and it seems that when ever there
is a "é" character in the title tag of the html page right
before the closing "</title>" tag, the page displays
nothing. But if I remove the "é" like so:

<html>
<head>
<title>sant</title>
</head>
<body>
Test 1 2 3
</body>
</html>

This works fine. This is very crucial since I develope web
sites in English/French languages. I think there is a bug
or something that's in IE or the ms updates that I
installed that might be causing this problem. I haven't
figured out which it is.

I've also tested on some other machines that have the
exact same IE version as mine but did not have all the ms
patches that are out there installed and they work just
fine. The browser displays the page no problem.

If some one could shed some light on this that would be
great.

Thank you,

Mike

I just found the solution. I had changed the "Encoding"
to "Unicode UTF-8" and when I put it back to "Auto" it
displays fine. Sorry guys.

Thank you,

Try the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>sante´</title>
</head>
<body>
Test 1 2 3
</body>
</html>
