I like using Opera. At least I used to; now I'm wondering whether it is somehow decaying??
Anyway, I have a problem with some files in a directory: they are (more or less) all in Japanese, but some in shift-JIS, others in UTF-8. I will switch everything to UTF-8 one day, but for now... : here are the addresses http://imaginatorium.org/ecco -- index page in shift-JIS http://imaginatorium.org/ecco/vocalise.htm -- page in UTF-8 The shift-JIS page doesn't send a charset header, but because I kept getting garble in Opera, I made the vocalise page send a UTF-8 header. Here's what my header-getter says: CODE http://imaginatorium.org/ecco/vocalise.htm HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:08:36 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.17 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Does this look right? Anyway, in Firefox I can switch back and forth, and it gets it right. In Opera (10.63) a switch in *either* direction results in garble. Can anyone explain this? Can anyone tell me if switching in Explorer or any other real browser works correctly? Thanks. |

At least I used to; now I'm wondering whether it is somehow decaying?? There seem to be more features for every version, and the installer for Opera 11 didn't let me keep version 10. |

Thanks for the response...
in Firefox I can switch back and forth, and it gets it right. Looks the same to me in Firefox, Opera 9 and 11. What do you mean with "switch", change browser window? I meant switch from one page to another in the same browser window. (In one direction at least there isn't a link, so just by typing/autocompleting/pasting the different address.) The other page is in a different encoding, so unless the browser has some reason to switch encodings, it will show garble. (Surely you must be familiar with this from somewhere not showing Swedish properly?) http://imaginatorium.org/ecco -- index page in shift-JIS http://imaginatorium.org/ecco/vocalise.htm -- page in UTF-8 QUOTE QUOTE I like using Opera. At least I used to; now I'm wondering whether it is somehow decaying?? There seem to be more features for every version, and the installer for Opera 11 didn't let me keep version 10. I seem to spend an ever-increasing amount of my time getting rid of "features". Certainly now every time my finger slips in any direction something I didn't want to happen happens. We've also been unable to use Opera for printing for a couple of versions now: it coats large areas with black. From about the latest version, Opera fails to display zero-width-spaces properly, showing spaces. Off the top of my head... |
