RE: [PLUG] ASCII encoding question...


when i say browsers on the host machine - i mean that i'm using a browser
(locally) to access the html files served from the host machine - the
rendered files (since the files are jsp, they need to be rendered before
serving). 

but when i also look at the raw files (via vi) they show the ascii codes
(ie: \256).

anyway, i've got a chump... i mean _web developer_, changing the codes to
their proper html equivalent. i just would like to know why it works some
places and not others.

Exceedingly.

When you say "browsers on the hosting machine", are they accessing the
file via http://localhost/foo.html or via file:///documentroot/foo.html
?
If it's the latter, it could be that the web server is translating the
extended codes for you, on the fly.
