Richard Ishida 2008-08-08 20.34: > http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-encoding-detection-6 I took the test on Mac OS X (Leopard, PPC) for Firefox, Opera and Safari. The difference from your results were that Safari 3.5.1 for Mac OS X (ppc) failed in test 3 and 4. A note about Opera: Many more - most - tests will fail in Opera if you do not use the automatic encoding option of the text encoding menu. For instance, the first test fails if you - before taking the test - manually select the encoding ISO-8859-1. Wheras in Firefox, selecting ISO-8859-1 before clicking the links in the test, does not make any of the tests fail. (In Firefox, using the automatic encoding detection option means that Firefox will will use "guesswork/analysis" as fallback, in case the info it gets from the page/server is incomplete etc. Wheras to not use auto encoding dection, e.g. if you select ISO-8859-1, means that Firefox instead of performing any analysis, will use ISO-8859-1 as *fallback*. Or something like that. In Opera, not using Automatic, seems to mean that it overrules all the server/page encoding info.) -- leif halvard silli
