[Solved] Charset Interner Explorer

[xam]

Hi everybody,

I have a cross browser problem with a new website that I’m building. In Chrome everything looks fine, but in IE it doesn’t display certain characters properly.

This is the website I’m talking about: http://www.foodenjoyce.nl. For example on this page. All the way at the bottom it should show: Smörgåsbord, but in IE it doesn’t.

The website is constructed with one html page and seperate php files which contain the text and images (the content). Where the content should be on the html page, there is some javascript code that loads the seperate php files with the content. This probably has to do with the problem, but I need it to make sure the pages load as fast as they do.

Thanks in advance for any support you can give me!

Kind Regards, Xam Hanegraaf

Well, first off, your http headers do not specify a charset:

Content-Type: text/html

You should be sending something like:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

The <meta> is not enough. (Never is.)

All the way at the bottom it should show: Smörgåsbord, but in IE it doesn’t.

What does it show?

Further, what version of IE do you observe this problem in?

Thanks for your reply, but it seems like I implemented the font the wrong way and the .eot file was faulty. So eventually it was more of a CSS problem.

But it works now!
