I hand-coded an HTML5 page that depends on being encoded as UTF-8, which works great when I run the plain HTML on the server.

However, as soon as I incorporate it in a fex using -HTMLFORM myStandardsCompliantPage.html, WebFOCUS inserts a Content-Type header that includes a different encoding, which overrides what I put in my HTML head!:

Content-Type:	text/html;charset=iso-8859-1

Both IE(9) and Firefox complain about it and that bugs me a little.

Is there a way to override that from within the fex? Would be neat...

Just a guess here, because I've never had to try this before:

document.contentType = "text/html;charset=utf-8";

Put that bit of JavaScript in your window_onload event, like so:

//Begin function window_onload
function window_onload() {


UpdateData();

// TODO: Add your event handler code here
//add onInitialUpdate() function to make changes before initial run of the reports

document.contentType = "text/html;charset=utf-8";
}
//End function window_onload

Hopefully the browser will accept the change.

Sorry, the Javascript code is okay but I forgot you are using -HTMLFORM. Just add it as Javascript somewhere in your -HTMLFORM that will execute after the browser loads.

Here is some additional information:

contentType/mimeType (IE)
