I'm not sure. The potential trouble with that is that the validator will produce output that is not valid as [charsetX], where charsetX is whatever a user's page is. Thinking aloud .. If I filter the *output* through iconv, I have two problems. Firstly, if iconv doesn't recognise your charset, I can't do it. Secondly, the XSLT module I'm using to transform the output has to be handled with care: if I start feeding it different encodings, I don't know how far it will cope. > Or maybe I can be of any help for handling cyrillics? Thank you. I may try a couple of different ideas for dealing with it, and ask what you see for each one. But I need to think about this a bit first. -- Nick Kew Site Valet - the essential service for anyone with a website. <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/>
