Alexander, I tried duplicating this problem (http://znutar.cortexity.com/BugRatViewer/ShowReport/817) and so far it seems work correctly. My root document has page directive like <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=Shift_JIS" %> and contains Japanese text. It also has an include directive like <%@ include file="include.html" %> The include.html file contains Shift_JIS encoded Japanese text. The Japanese text from both the root and included document are displayed correctly. If you could provide a small example that demonstrates the problem I can try to investigate further. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
