Re: requestEncoding = "ISO-8859-1"

Joerg,

We've had this conversation before, but never resolved it.

What I've found, in my experience, is that ASP.NET settings take
precedence over HTML settings and, thus, utf-8 doesn't display
characters 128-255 as you say itshould.

If I include
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
in an aspx page source, the setting which prevails is the one specified
in web.config.

Can you post a complete page example which proves what you're saying ?

Don't be. All that happens is that your HTML form likely doesn't specify any encoding, thus your
browser assumes ISO-8859-1 by default (check your browser's encoding option after loading the
form!).
HTML 4.01 even includes an attribute to specify the character encoding for a submitted web form
("accept-charset"), but last time I checked it was practically unsupported. What happens instead
is that the original response encoding (ISO-8859-1 assumed if not specified) is used as subsequent
request encoding.

Therefore, simply mark your static HTML as UTF-8 encoded as well (and of course encode them
physically using UTF-8 as well!):
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

That should do the trick.
