oops okay just realize that i had saved a couple of my pages in ansi and not utf-8 and that was responsible for the problem...no need to change coding to iso...thanks again...
hey dude...nice article. the info was really helpful.
strange thing though...i had my unicode set up and it doesn't seem like it was getting over-ridden by the server cuz upon loading the page, the character coding was marked as unicode, but the spanish characters still weren't showing.
i switched to iso-8859-1 coding and that seemed to do the trick, although it's pain to go through and change the meta tag on all of the pages...ni modo. thanks for the info though the article is great...
