Hello,

sorry if this is not the right forum for this question, may be you can redirect me.

Question:

My browser can read a page half english half turkish from a turkish site.

When I paste the source of that page to an empty html page on my site the turkish text becomes full of question marks in any browser.

I tried everything in the html codes except the right thing, I guess, that's why I ask now: should I put some files on my server with that turkish characters? should I program my server to show the turkish characters? How? what else?

Probably is very simple matter.

Thank you for your kind answer.

Try adding the following HTML tag immediately after the opening <head> tag in your HTML document:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Thank you,

already happened: with that utf-8 code many more question marks are added in the form of little romboid with the mark in the middle

?a?da? m?zik

oops once the messge sent from my computer the characters that have the romboid with the question mark on this site (page?) appear just as question marks without the romboid. In this case the first and the fourth character had a romboid on my page (site?)

what's that?

Thanks

It might also be the text editor or browser you are using to paste in the text. Can you link to the page that's half english and half turkish?

as I said my browser (safari and aslo IE) read very well the page in its original site and shows it properly with all the turkish characters,

The head and body tag of the page reads

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="tr">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254">
<title>XXXX XXXX</title>
<script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation">
<!--
function dynAnimation() {}
function clickSwapImg() {}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
</script>
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="t, default">
</head>

<body stylesrc="index.html" onload="dynAnimation()" bgcolor="#F0F0FF">

I really need a link to the original page with all the turkish charcters on it. And the code you posted, is that the page you created or the page you got the text from?
