If everything is properly declared inside your <head> tags, your browser *should* automatically render the page correctly. Anyway, if it doesn't work, check that the "character coding" in your browser is properly selected. (If you're on Netscape or Mozilla, choose "View" -> "Character coding" -> your_character_coding_here.) > A friend later figured out that the header() declaration at the top of > the page was what made the difference. Did this one work for you? > Do you know why it wouldn't work until that php code was added? Not really sure. But think about this. People can write HTML pages without the help of php and the like and still have Japanese pages correctly rendered by their browsers. In other words, I can write an HTML page with Japanese characters in it, save it on my desktop (and not on my web server), double click it, my browser starts and show me the characters correctly--no php code necessary. Try that again and see if it works. If not, most probably the problem lies somewhere else... > > Quanta works fine for me.

Not really sure. (I know it works on OS X though...) But if it's not ported, *maybe* you can use with cygwin+windows combination. Btw, iirc, phpedit on Win2k worked for me. Just make sure that you have Japanese fonts (and an IME) installed and you chose the correct (default) font for phpedit. This works even if you have on English version of Win2k (or XP). -- - E - __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
