Hello everyone,

 

what are the sideeffects in changing the encoding in web.config from utf-8 in the globalization node

 

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="utf-8" />

 

 

to iso-8859-1?

 

regards

Gunnar

Well, basically, if you use a character that is not supported by iso-8859-1, it will be displayed as ? or a box. Why would you want to change it?

Because now, if I use parameters in the url as ?city=Århus, or in my case ?type=Íbúð, it is not shown correctly. It actually shows as ? or box.

 

So the sideeffects should be none, as long as the primary use only uses ISO-8859-1 characters, or if it only used "danish/nordic" characters?

Have you tried changing the encoding settings in the Frontpage module or Language/Area module, if you have multiple areas?

Yes, it is set to western european (ISO). But still not working.
