Using document.inputEncoding: http://stakface.com/pub/mango/fakexml.html http://stakface.com/pub/mango/fakexml_iso.html Using a degree symbol in UTF-8: http://stakface.com/pub/mango/fakexml2.html http://stakface.com/pub/mango/fakexml2_iso.html In both cases the _iso version has a tweaked prolog such that it goes back to ISO-8859-1 in Firefox. Chrome still detects fakexml_iso.html as UTF-8. I've now also tested in Firefox on Mac (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3) which also has a default encoding of ISO-8859-1 as per the preferences. kats
