Hi all,
I have a question if it is possible to manipulate the settings of
character encoding in Ms Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0. The
problem is that the default instalation of Ms IE seems to have hard
selected default encoding to "Western European (ISO)", which means
iso-8859-1. When browsing pages with some Central/Eastern European
characters these are converted to iso-8859-1 so displayed wrong.
I would suppose the "auto-select" option should be default, so the
browser can select the right encoding according to the meta-tags in
the head of webpage. But this is apparently not true.
Please, is it possible to use JavaScript or Java applet to get the
information about the current client character encoding settings
and/or change it to the "auto-select" value ? How to do this ?
Thanks in advance,
David Komanek
