Hi group..
I have an HTML form which is made dynamically using XSL transformation.
The charset is "supposed" to be UTF-8 to accommodate Turkish
characters.
We are able to display all the non-ISO special characters correctly
when we load the page initially. But for some reasons, when a user
"POSTS" the data, all the special characters are transformed into
gibberish(two junk characters per each special character).
I believe I am setting the page header correctly(please see the meta
tag in the code posted below), but for some reasons its not effective.
When I click auto-select in IE, UTF-8 is changed to Windows-Western
Europe.
Strangely enough, when form method is changed into "GET", it works..But
'coz of security reason, we cannot use GET..
I would appreciate any insight into this problem...Relevant parts of
the code is posted below...Thanks, Inder
