Hi,
I''m trying to at a select box to my page like so:
<%= select(''company'', ''country'',
[[''België'', ''BE''],
[''Nederland'',
''NL'']]) %>
But the ë in België is displayed as ? in Firefox and as || in IE5.
I have already placed some html code at the top of the page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
lang="en">
<head>
<title><%= @title %></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
But that doesn''t solve the problem. Anybody managed to solve it? All
help is welcome. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Nick

hey, read this http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/33858 this is how i solved my problem cuz i also export to pdf and excel if i used utf8: -the website OK -export pdfs and excels NOT OK if i used iso-8859-1: -the website NOT OK -export pdfs and excels OK so i set the charset for each def in all my controllers, this worked for me. Nick.
I''m not a RoR guru, but a fact is when using: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-15"/> (so charset "ISO-8859-15") in your HTML files there''s no problem displaying chars like that, in my case pulled straight from a mysql db. (done with a perl script). I imagine this works as well for rails but you have to figure out what (read: where) to tell Rails. Regards, Gerard.
