Hi folks!

I'm setting up a UTF-8 encoded Joomla/Gallery2 combo and most of it works quite well now. There's just one annoying thing, browsing the gallery works fine but clicking site admin breaks the UTF-8 encoding for some reason and I can't figure out what causes this. I've included the beginning of the HTML that is generated with G2 as a component in Joomla's main window. As you can see from the bold text the Joomla template is UTF-8 but it looks like G2 has added a charset=windows-1252 which confuses the browser. Other pages of the embedded gallery show UTF-8 in both positions.

Anyone have an idea where this comes from?

Thanks,
Anders

> but it looks like G2 has added a charset=windows-1252 which confuses the browser.

that's not g2. that must be joomla, joomla's g2 module or your code.

general note: all g2 html tags are lower-case.

sidenote: the html charset isn't the only thing that counts.
the http content-type / charset counts as well.

OK, thanks! I'll ask on the Joomla side too and see if someone has come across this.
