I have 2 programs, one PHP mailForm and another CGI guestBook.

Site that I’m building will be used in Russia, so I want to add charset=windows-1251
to scripts somehow and hopefully to have them work.

Any ideas? Please

If I where you, I'd go UTF-8 directly...
It's designed from the ground to be used on case like that.

But apart from that minor sidenote, I think a simple declaration, specifying the charset should be enough to trigger the browser in the right mode.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

I am using

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">

and it's working fine in body but not in script
take a look

I have a gold rule, always use utf-8! It saves a lot time and nerves too

			 				<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">

This won't work if the program on the server side sends http-header with other encoding. I think you should remake server-side programs.

I tried to use utf-8 and everything I could come up with but I still have
the same problem. As you can see I have no problems with body

Dmitri, if you are using Russian KB, can you leave message in GB?

Well, what should I see that is not working with the CGI ??

On second thought, I'm on linux, and it seems to always handle mixed charset a whole lot better than windows....

If you use East Europian chars in form you'll see them looking like âîêàë
whereas it shoud look like first name after -

I hope this help

Ok, I made guestbook speak Russian but I still can't
persuade mailForm start to communicate in Russian language

Is there Russians in the House?
