Off-Topic: using UTF-8 as opposed to 8859-1 on websites

[Phillip Jones, C.E.T.]

I am trying to keep my websites up to standards. And I most of my page
pass code for W3C standards for XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Mr McGhie as all
respectful people call him ;-).
Mentioned something about that preferred Character encoding is UTF-8.

I use DreamWeaver (unfortunately its an older version Part of Studio 8
collection). I don't wish to break my pages. is all that is involved
changing Characterset = ISO-8859-1 to Characterset = UTF-8 in the pages.

Hi Phillip:

Yes, but don't forget to re-save the page and re-publish it afterwards

Changing the Charset to UTF-8 means Dreamweaver needs to re-write the file.

Cheers

Thanks I'll work on changing them over. I don't have any specific fonts
specified I use the default font. on all the Pages. I don't have to many
HTML Pages. More PDF's than anything.
