utf-8 encoding not working in firefox

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 10.2006

Hey everyone,

I can not get firefox to switch to utf-8 encoding on my homepage. Here is the source code (as given by firefox) of my page:

[CODE]
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″>
<TITLE>Kontakt-DB</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<FRAMESET cols=”200,*” >
<FRAME name=”leftframe” src=”navigation.php”>
<FRAME name=”mainframe” src=”welcome.php”>

</FRAMESET>
</HTML>[/CODE]

I find this rather strange, and can not find my mistake. Any help would be appreciated.

  • 1. If your server's response headers declare a different charset they take precedence.

  • 2. Content-Type declarations in the parent frame are not inherited by the child frames.

    @Florian_BurkartauthorJun 10.2006 — I have similar headers in my frames, this is the code for the left frame:
    [CODE]
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <META http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
    <META http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <BASE target="mainframe">
    </HEAD>

    <BODY>
    öäü
    Navigation:
    <UL>
    <LI> <A HREF="welcome.php"> Home </A>
    <LI> Neu:
    <UL>
