Problem with function new Option(); with IE 6.0… How can I show special characters?

look at this, it doesn’t work:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function populate() {
var option = new Option(“Almería”,”01″);
var option2 = new Option(“Almer&iacute;a”,”02″);
eval(“document.myform.myselect.options[0]=option”);

eval(“document.myform.myselect.options[1]=option2”);

}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onload=’javascript:populate()’>
<form name=myform>
<select name=”myselect”></select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
