Errors rendering an html page

[Manuel]

Hi,

When I load an html page (greek language) inside a span id="DivHtml" my
website stops working correctly or the inner html page is rendered using
invalid chars. When I load other html pages (english or italian) it works.
The "greek" html page is rendered correctly if opened outside the application

Thank you very much
Manuel

Code Example:

DivHtml.InnerHtml = s.ToString();
(s is a stringbuilder containing the html)

<aspanel runat="server" ID="PanelHtml" BorderStyle="Groove"
ScrollBars="Vertical" Width="100%" >
<span id="DivHtml" runat="server"></span>
</aspanel>

just a guess

try

s = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode( s.ToString())

DivHtml.InnerHtml = s.ToString();

Hi,

From your description, I understand that when you request your website you
get the invalid characters on page, but the character shows correctly when
you request another website on internet. If I have misunderstood you,
please feel free to let me know.

Did you specify the character set or the encoding for your website? If not,
please set Unicode encoding in your ASP.NET website. You can try to use
UTF-8 encoding, which allows you to create multilingual Web content without
having to change the encoding based on the target language.

For ASP.NET website, we can specify it in your web.config:
===========================
<globalization requestEncoding=" UTF-8 " responseEncoding=" UTF-8 " />
===========================

For more information about globalization Element, please see#

I look forward to receiving your test results.

Hi,

I've tried to add the globalization requestEncoding in the web.config but
the behaviour is the same.
It happens only embedding a particular html page.
Can I send it to you via email ?

Thank you very much

Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for your response.

Since you are specifying the string in code behind class, you can use
UTF8Encoding Class to convert the string. For more information, see #
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.utf8encoding.aspx

Yes, you can send me a simplified package that can repro the error on your
machine. My email is (e-mail address removed).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Thomas,

looking at the HTML page that I need to embed I've found:
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">

So if I write:
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fileName,
Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-7"));
string s = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();

DivHtml.InnerHtml = s;

works correctly.

Thank you very much for your help !
