Hi,
Can anyone help with Norwegian encoding.

If I submit a form the Norwegian letter are just scrambled - å æ ø, Å Ø Æ

I have been searching these forums for a solution but cant find anything of help.

Any one got any ideas.

regards, Kippi

Kippi,

Which character encoding are you using for your site, and do you have the Character Encoding tag specified in your templates? smile

Hi,

I am using:

<html >

      <meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8” />

in the head and also adding: charset=“utf-8” in the freeform tag.

Thing is I dont have a problem with either Mac safari or G-mail but my client is not getting the right characters
on PC with outlook.

Very odd

It’s possible their browser might be forcing a different character set too…

Do you mean when they submit the form from a particular browser?

Thing is when I send through the form which I have set up with two reply emails for testing .

The reply I get is fine but the reply directed to a PC with outlook as the email client the characters are messed up.

Driving me crazy the problem ;-(

I mean if they’re opening up the email in Outlook with a different character encoding enforced, etc smile

Ok,
I was unaware that you can force character encoding in outlook.

Ill check into this avenue.

Thanks, I might be back with this though, Im afraid.
