Hello,
Sorry if I post in the wrong group(?) - I don't usually use this one, but I
have come across a strange bug in Internet Explorer for Mac OSX:
If you save the attached (very simple) html-code as an aspx page on your IIS
server, and browse the page with IE on Mac OSX, rows with extended
characters
in the dropdown will be EMPTY! Once the row is selected, the text shows up
though.
The error reproduces on any Mac OSX, but not on any Windows or Linux
operating systems - or previous Max OSes. There are also no problems
browsing
the page with the browser "Safari" on OSX.
Now, the REALLY interesting part is, if you rename the extension to ".asp",
everything
works fine with IE+OSX! However, if you explicitly save the page as UTF-8,
and
include "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">"
in the HEAD, the error reappears in ASP using IE+OSX. There seems to be no
changes in the aspx-page though, regardless of the page encoding...
I have also tried, with no luck, to write the special characters using:
1. UTF-8/ANSI encoded characters (å ä ö)
2. HTML-encoded characters (å ä ö)
3. the unicode syntax generated by Server.HTMLEncode (encodings like #321)
I really need this kind of control in my aspx pages, and my customers want
to use OSX, and they prefer to use Internet Explorer.
Does anyone have a clue??
Can Microsoft confim this bug and solve it / find a workaround?
