Since the majority of web developers are in countries which have more than enough with ISO-8859 (Europe, North America, etc…), and that majority also tend to use Windows, their servers are set to use ISO-8859, the databases are created using ISO-8859, and the code and templates and by extension the pages come out automatically with ISO-8859 (although I have also noticed that Eclipse sets the default encoding to CP-1252, in every platform - which is something that keeps puzzling me!).</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2BE175A5-42F7-4B78-B61E-4E086042D33C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
