[Htmlparser-user] Character Encoding

[<bo...@ti...>]

Hi,

I have a strange problem and I can’t get my head around it. Hopefully 
someone can point me in the right direction. I’m using the following 
code with HTMLParser 1.6 to retrieve web pages:

                parser                       = new Parser
(URL);               
                ThePage                   = parser.parse
(null);           
                MyPage                    = ThePage.toHtml();
                

On some pages (not all…) if the HTML page contains:

£10 Free

“My Page” contains “?10 Free” on other pages it works fine.

I guess it has something to do with character encoding? Can someone 
suggest what I add where to get this to work correctly (I would like to 
keep the “£10 Free”)

Thanks in advance

Brian

Thanks Derrick,

The page in question includes the following tags:

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<META http-equiv=content-type>

I don't understand why the second one is there but it really is. With 
that information can you suggest a resolution? I am not entirely sure 
how to verify your point (1).

Best Regards

Brian

There are two possibilities.

1) The HTTP server is/is not serving up content type meta information 
in the HTTP header like so:
text/html; charset=utf-8

2) The source HTML does/does not contain a meta tag like so:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
You need to determine which one so the appropriate 'fix' can be 
applied.
