CSS not taken into account in firefox

Does that option place the code in the meta tag or in the file makeup?

It was the Unicode that did it. Save your work as utf-8 (which MSFT will screw up) and you'll be ok with your é and other accented characters. It won't hurt your css or js files either, as long as you properly escape the non ASCII/ANSI entities.

As for blaming MSFT, when there is a foul odor, look to the dog.

kk5st, I was in the understanding that all files should be saved as ASCII Plain Text. Then told which character encoding to use in the META tag.

Am I right in thinking this?

Like \'e for é?

So I select Unicode (UTF-8) in my menu?
But then how will it render in IE?

I'm sorry I don't really understand encoding at all :s

hmm sort of changing the subject. since you have all seen my website (I've fixed a few things since in the style that didn't show up in Safari but did in Firefox, and I've also fixed my CSS) I was just wondering what you think of the design itself, if you might have any stylistic suggestions.

Of course the important problem at hand is encoding, though

Post this in site critiqu then more people can have a look and tell you what they think.

[edit] Oh wait it's not online. Can't you upload it into a folder where you put the zip file?

utf-8 is fine for everything. ASCII and ANSI, as well as iso8859-1, etc., are all subsets of utf-8. Ignore my comment about escaping non-ASCII characters in your style sheet, as you won't need anything that isn't ASCII[1].

I'm not convinced that anyone actually understands character encodings , but a good series of articles begins here.

[1] There is an exception, but you can wait on that 'til you bump into it.

SOOOOO if I understand correctly, I should resave all my pages in UTF-8?
do I also change all the meta tags?
I don't need to escape my characters in my HTML, though, do I?

:? iso latin-1 should be fine for accented charecters, all files saved as plain ASCII

As that or as iso-8859-1.
It should match your encoding.
Not for those encodings. If you save as ASCII or ANSI, yes, since those characters are not a part of the character set.
