  1. I'm referring my 404 errors (not found) to a page which displays the errournous address:

     
  2. The additional language packs are not installed on the web servers. I don't think the server will be able to display other characters unless it's UTF-8 encoded.

  3. But the server displays hebrew, and stores it to DB and does everything except this.


    Is there a way to utf-8 encode it somehow?


    Thanks
     
  4. I've also tried escape(hebrewVar) and unescape() to display it, and it shows question marks: ???

    please help :\
     
  5. i'm afraid meta charset won't solve it.. the source code itself (view>source code) shows ??? on my hebrew supported system.





    This is very weird as hebrew passes all the time in the address, like:


    page.asp?hebrewword=????


    and then


    request("hebrewword") shows ???? perfectly





    any idea?!
     
  6. If this metatag is in the document the browser should load the Hebrew character set on the client.

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=windows-1255">

    Do you actually need the Hebrew Character set to load for the Session?
    Shalom,
