OK, back to basicsGenoPro's Report Generator producing the standard English Narrative Report generates HTML files in UTF-8 encoding. If you want your generated home.htm file to contain ISO-8859-1 encoded characters then you muist re-encode this file as well as telling browsers rendering this file via the 'http-equiv' 'Content-Type meta tag. So one way to achieve this is simply edit the home.htm file using Windows Notepad replacing <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
|
with
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
|
AND THEN SAVE THE FILE AS 'ANSI' (see 'Encoding' drop down list in Notepad's 'Save As' dialogue). This will work provided the utf-8 characters used are limited to the ISO-8859-1 subset of ANSI. You can then edit this file with your ISO-8859-1 editor to your heart's content. As I see it, this is entirely independent of the web server. The server should not be generating the pages, but merely serving them 'as is' as so the encoding is transparent.

The reason is already stated in the beginning of this tread, my web editor does not support well utf-8, so the web site use iso. Because this parameter is defined on the web server, it doesn't work to have a mix of ISO and UTF pages. All pages works wells in ISO except this home.htm. Any info about why configuring this page to ISO doesn't work as for the other pages?

In your post 21238, you said you 'put it back to UTF-8'. But did you save home.htm as Utf-8? With Notepad: Saving to UTF-8 has little to do, because GenoPro will load the HTML template and convert it to Unicode internally. What is necessary is to specify the encoding of the output with: | <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> |

I'm wondering why would you want to move away from unicode standard utf-8 and get a non-universal iso codepage that limits you in many ways?

The goal here was to replace utf by iso, so putting back home.htm on utf doesn't make it!?

Also, beside the sub, you're not using my last Dic Rev. Download it from here: http://support.genopro.com/FindPost21080.aspx and you'll then get proper Family phrases (without 'True' as it refered to an old parameter). JC

By the way, Unicode and UTF-8 are the same. UTF-8 stands for Unicode Transformation Format, which is a method for encoding / compressing Unicode characters.

Had a look at your home.htm page and it shows some garbled characters due to code setting (ISO), if I set my encoding to Unicode everything shows correct. This was on Japanese Windows environment.

I've put it back to UTF-8 and still the same issue. Any content in UTF-8 doen't display properly as the server is setup for ISO.

Right except what is related to home.htmExactly. This is because the encoding for home.htm is the following: | <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/> |
If home.htm was encoded in UTF-8, everything would display fine.
