XP SP2 and IE6 javascript.....

[Steven K]

I hit a problem with IE6 *javascript* unable to display German Umlaute when,
for example, issuing an alert command displaying a textstring containing
Umlaute - all Umlaute are missing(clipped off). Was no problem with XP SP1 -
WTF

Anyone an idea what's going on?

Thx Jan,
The culprit was
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
NOT being set to 8859 but US-ASCII

The offender is the Mozilla editor which obviously *always* sets the US
charset and provides no option to alter this except in the source code.
Lesson learnt! @*#%
