In FP, when I create a page in Danish - which has some funny special characters, somewhat like German - I set it in the options. What do I do in DW, if anything? My page looks fine in design view and in browser preview, but when I look into the code, all special characters are coded with html codes such as &.o.s.l.a.s.h; (without the dots which I added in this post so that you could see the code). Is that the way it's supposed to be, or does it mean that I should set language to "da" or character set to ISO something maybe or? Thanks - Halina _____________________________

After I've uploaded a page with UTF-8 the characters looked all wrong in my browser (even if they looked right in browser preview offline!) So, at least until someone enlightens me on this, I changed it back to charset=windows-1252 (and the funny looking code...) and now it looks right online too... < Message edited by halinagold -- 5/27/2007 11:23:14 > _____________________________ (in reply to halinagold)
