Hi,<br />
<br />
This might not be an Apache question but I think it is so bear with me...thanks....<br />
<br />
I have some web pages that are encoded with UTF-8. &nbsp;I have set &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=utf-8&quot; &gt;&nbsp;on the pages, but still the default encoding by the browser is ISO-8859-1, which causes some of the characters to display wrong. &nbsp;if you manually change the encoding in Firefox or IE to UTF-8 the page reloads and we're all very happy, the characters all display right, etc. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
So how do I get this encoding to default for every browser?! &nbsp;I'm assuming since I've set the meta tag in the HTML and it's still not working it's an Apache thing. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
