UTF-8 and Form Submission

We are introducing 3 new pages that display Khmer characters (the Cambodian script). The script utilizes Unicode and therefore we set the content type of oyur pages to UTF-8. We do this by adding <%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" codepage=65001%> at the top of our Classic ASP pages and also <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> into the header of the HTML pages.

Everything seems to work well when retrieving and displaying UNICODE data
from the SQL Server 2000 database provided by DiscountASP. However when submitting a form no values for any form elements are passed to the target page. In other words Just before the form is submitted the client machine has the values for all the form elements but at the very beginning of the processing page on the server the values are not available anymore.


It works without issue on our production server here (Windows Server 2003 + SQL Server 2008) but not when we transfer the pages to the DiscountASP servers.

We have searched the Knowledge Base and the Forums - all to no avail - and
have also scoured the net through Google

Any help appreciated.
