John and Martin,
Thanks for your help. However, I have identified the culprit to be with
Apache and the command:
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
which forces my browser to utf-8 encoding.
It looks like your suggestions to change charset were incorrect. My example
works equally well with charset=utf8 as it does with charset=windows-1252.
Incidentally, next time, if you really want to be helpful, might I suggest
you leave out the mocking. I could care less, myself, but someone else might
have gotten their feelings hurt. And in the end, it doesn't make you look
good.
Thanks again. Cheers.
