(chinese) Encoded Page

Recommended Posts

I created an html page using Dreamweaver with encoding set to gb2312 to display chinese charracters. While I am working on the website I uploaded all files to a free host and everything is fine. The characters are displayed properly. After I finished the site, I uploaded all files to the actual host and the characters are not displayed properly. The only thing these two hosts is different in is that the actual server (where the character are not displayed properly) is in passive mode. Do you think this (passive mode) is why the characters are not displayed properly? Thanks for your help.kvarnerexpress

Without looking at your source code I'm assuming you set your charset. If not, make sure you have this at the top of every page that includes Chinese characters:

 

<META http-equiv="Content-Language" content="zh-cn">
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=chinese">

 

On parameter charset

you can enter the ISO value of Chinese (simplified, from the encoding you used) but I couldn't find one nor I understand Chinese so didn't find one.

 

On parameter content

I found 3 other kinds. Hong Kong (zh-hk), Singapore (zh-sg) and Taiwan (zh-tw)

It would be easier to check if you post the link itself, and have you tried to set it to NOT use passive mode? You mean passive ftp right? I dont understand what it means, but the servers ive worked with, they always need this to be set (DO USE passive FTP)... Does someone know whats this passive ftp all about?
