Hi

loading the webpage www.seb.se works fine also with the special scandinavian
characters ø,æ,å,ö,ä, but choosing e.g "Fond", "kurser & Fakta", "Aktier" and
searching for a share e.g. called "Ericsson"; hereafter the special characters
mentioned above are shown wrong. It doesnt happen in IE6. Using XP SP2 and
firefox 1.0 PR.

Keep up the brilliant work :-)

Best regards Jorn

Here is a direct link to the frame:
http://swp2.vv.sebank.se/cgi-bin/pts3/pow/borsfinans/listor/lists/seb_ak_mest_omsatta.asp

The (green) text in the stock listing is fine, e.g "FöreningsSparbanken A".
because it's marked up as "FöreningsSparbanken A".
The problem occurs below the listing, e.g.
"Vill du ha �nnu f�rskare kurser?", the reason for this is that the
page does not say what character set to use (and neither does the server
in a HTTP header) and Mozilla defaults to UTF-8.

If I add
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
the page looks fine.
