I have put together a test page to test support for UTF-8 signatures/BOMs in XHTML. Cursory initial testing indicates that Netscape 4.8 displays a blank line if the signature is present. I hear that IE 5.2 Mac and IE4 does the same. IE6, Opera 7.2, Firebird 0.6.1 appear to work fine. Also, Opera 7.2 and IE6 appear to override the declared encoding of a file if the file has a utf-8 signature. Firebird 0.6.1 does not. See http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-utf8-signature.html [ Note that I've also seen the first line or so of external CSS style sheets fail if a utf-8 signature is present. If I can remember how to replicate the failure, I'll write another test file to cover that. ] RI ============ Richard Ishida W3C contact info: http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ http://www.w3.org/International/ http://www.w3.org/International/geo/ W3C Internationalization FAQs http://www.w3.org/International/questions.html RSS feed: http://www.w3.org/International/questions.rss
