He, there!
I'm developing a web site using foreign characters (russian), encoding Windows-1251, using ASP and XML files to store Menu and Content information. On my development server running Windows XP Pro and IIS 6 everything looks fine. Once I transfered my site online, I've got nothing but question marks in place of the russian characters, whenever it comes from ASP processed XML file, such as on-screen menus and content that are dynamically built. ASP script opens XML file and builds these items based on XML data on the server.
I would suspect XML file encoding, but like I mentioned, it works perfectly on my server, even when accessed from different machines over my network, even those without Russian language support at all.
The pilot site is at www.tancompart.com/of, XML files are menu.xml and content.xml in the root directory. I tried to add encoding attributes to the XML and even to the Response object with no success.
One other thing worth mentioning - I have downloaded latest MS XML Parser on my IIS. Could that make a difference?
Any help on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
