problems with hungarian characters

Post by Susanne_H »

Hi,

i want to create a website in hungarian using for the first time webuilder. Now i have a problem with two hungarian characters: ű ő. They are called in german Doppelakut and used only in this language. Seems, that Webuilder doesn't support these characters. Am i right? My charset is charset=iso-8859-2, i have also tried utf-8 with the same result.

Thanks for your answers.

Can you paste the character? I mean is the problem in the editor's ability to display the character or is the problem related to being able to type/enter this character.

Hallo,

I can't paste the characters from a word-document (I also tried to save the document as a txt-file, it didn't change anything), but I have to paste the text, because it is quiet a lot. With the keyboard changed to hungarian I can type the characters correctly (like this: ő - ű), but in the preview, they are not correctly displayed (like this: o - u). So what can I do?

Thanks a lot
Susanne

When you use utf-8, do you have this code in the head of your page?

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
This will tell the browser you're using this encoding when previewing locally.

This worked for me with the two characters you posted, but using ansi and iso-8859-2 only gave me o and u.

The preview is code-related so you will have to play with the meta tag to achieve correct results. UTF-8 is recommended. Make sure the file is set to be UTF-8 and not ANSI.

As for the inability to paste from Word, this has something to do with fonts or your system settings. I have tested this a lot and it seems there are no known faults in this area.

Thanks for your answer und help. You were completly right: My files had been saved in ANSI. With my old editor I did not have the possibility to save files in different modes as UTF or ANSI. So it took me a good time to understand what was going on.

Now I'm happy und have bought webuilder. And now I have the next question. Is it possible to integrate the cse-validator? Could you please describe the neccessary steps to configure this feature.

My experience has been that WeBuilder automatically takes care of this if CSE is already installed. In WeBuilder look under the Tools menu. The CSE Validator should be there.

Hi,

we have already installed the CSE-validator, version 8. The CSE appears in the menu tools, but on click we get the information, that the CSE could not be loaded and we are redirected to Blumentals webpage.

Kind regards

Works for me with CSE 9.0 Pro. You can try re-installing the CSE, maybe it helps.
