If anyone from Microsoft is listening, please note that ... My colleague, Charles Wicksteed, has spotted a serious problem at <www.microsoft.com>. Many pages, including the page <www.microsoft.com>, contain an illegal charset name. Note that I am not referring to page <www.microsoft.com/ie40.asp>, which contains a legal charset name. The illegal name is "ISO8859-1". The IANA charset register does not contain such an alias for "ISO-8859-1" and many browsers do not recognise the string "ISO8859-1". I am glad to see that Front Pad inserts the correct charset name. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Misha Wolf Email: misha.wolf@reuters.com 85 Fleet Street Standards Manager Voice: +44 171 542 6722 London EC4P 4AJ Reuters Limited Fax : +44 171 542 8314 UK --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th International Unicode Conference, 8-9 Apr 1998, Tokyo, www.unicode.org 7th World Wide Web Conference, 14-18 Apr 1998, Brisbane, www7.conf.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Reuters Ltd.
