Have you read the FAQ?

http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/faq.html

The "Why am I getting an EncodingChangeException?" should be helpful how
to handle character encoding issues. If the web page does not contain an
encoding hint, let the parser fetch the web site for you, maybe the HTTP
header contains the correct encoding. So it is used. If the web site is
offline, set the correct encoding in the parser. Does this help?
