Re: +n- Flaw in IE

Have tried both:

    <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=western">
    <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=western/iso">

... without success. When loading these from my computer, so there is
no header to explicitly set the encoding so Auto-Select will do it's
job properly.

I have seen some wackiness with Encoding in IE and this one just takes
the cake. This is a good example of where the web developers must be
careful with the configuration of the web application to prevent these
issues.

Looks like I might as well just go down that utf-8 encoding path and be
done with it.

I hope that MS pulles up their socks and fixes this highly flawed
functionality in the upcoming IE 7.
