    Get Arabic to appear correctly in both static HTML and database text

    I am trying to get my asp classic vbscript page to render Arabic script correctly.

    I can get the HTML to display the Arabic characters correctly by simply adding the following line at the top:

    Code:
    <html dir="rtl" lang="ar" xml:lang="ar" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    This works for all Arabic script within HTML and all response.write calls that do not pull text from the database.

    However when the Arabic text is pulled from the access database, it comes up as a bunch of wierd symbols, see the example here:

    http://explorethemed.com/mapsar2.asp


    I tried adding this to the top of the page:

    Code:
    <%
Session.LCID = 1032
Session.CodePage = 1256
Response.Charset="windows-1256"
%>
    This fixes the text that is pulled from the database but it screws up all the Arabic symbol in the regular HTML text on the page, see the example here:

    http://explorethemed.com/mapsar.asp

    So how do I encode the page so that both the Arabic in the HTML text and that is pulled from the database appears correctly?

    Nevermind, I fixed it.

    I had to change the charset to 1256 in the meta-http equiv tag aswell.

    That's great. Do you speak Arabic by the way or are you working on this for a client?
