No, because the remote computer/application has no idea what charset WAA is using. You can enforce a specific charset on the client by setting the META tags of the document, but this means editing the <head></head> section of the html page you are sending. If you use the HTML3 class methods to generate the page (e.g. oHtml:formStart()) then you cannot modify or edit in any way the header area. If you manually create the document (perhaps using HRF or HAL or by creating the document as a string and using oHtml:put(cDoc)), then you easily do this. Using HAL, you can create a template HTML page with the META tags already setup. If you don't use context sessions, then you can have a play with WAS, which is WAA compatible (and runs as a service or console app), and allows you to insert/edit data in the header area, e.g.: oHtml:putHeader('<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type"')+; 'CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1251">') Regards, Phil Ide *************************************** * Xbase++ FAQ, Libraries and Sources: * * goto: http://www.idep.org.uk/xbase * *************************************** Friends help you move; Real friends help you move bodies.

Hi All,
Does SET CHARSET setting has any influence on the non-English characters
display in the Internet Explorer?
I tested with ADSDBE (OEM and ANSI) and DBFCDX and didn't see any change. To
save data in OEM format I had to convert oHTML:GetVar() strings to OEM and
convert them back before oHTML:put().
Questions:
1.)Can anyone explain when xBase dooes do the conversion internally, because
we have to share databases between WAA and non-WAA applications.

2)What is CHARSET setting for each DBE if we intend to use a DBE set:
FOXCDX, DBFCDX and ADSDBE

Thanks in advance,

Vladimir

No, because the remote computer/application has no idea what charset WAA is

META tags of the document, but this means editing the <head></head> section
of the html page you are sending.  If you use the HTML3 class methods to

META tags already setup.

If you don't use context sessions, then you can have a play with WAS, which
is WAA compatible (and runs as a service or console app), and allows you to
insert/edit data in the header area, e.g.:

oHtml:putHeader('<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type"')+;
                'CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1251">')
