Hi Chris, I'm not aware of any IE specific selector for title attributes. Not sure this URL will work without cookies ... <url:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;Q202489> ...but it says that "language" encoding may be detected automatically by IE, unless it is set explicitly (View > Encoding). I suspect this may be done using a meta http-equiv attribute rather than HTTP headers. IE has a reputation for ignoring Content-Type headers and deducing such properties from the file extension or other content. The http-equiv option is an explicit part of HTML 4 may have been introduced to cover this feature: <url:http://www.w3.org/TR/cuap#protocols> See example 2 under "Respect the character set of a resource when one is explicitly given". If this doesn't work, I suspect the encoding for the title attribute is an oversight: <url:http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars.html#display> Cheers, Phil -- <url http://www.codestyle.org/>
