Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278571

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/125.5.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0+ ; 

If you access a web site, the Firefox detects its encoding by looking at its meta tag or guessing it. 
(chardet?), or apply your default character encoding method.

It usually works when you open a web site at first. However if the web site contains a table, sometimes 
text in the table is broken.
If you apply your encoding method from the menu manually, then it is OK.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try visit www.stoo.co.kr
2. check if text in a left side box is displayed correctly
3.
Actual Results:  
The text in the box is broken. By looking at the source code, I found out that it was a table.

Expected Results:  
Character encoding method should be applied correctly as it does with main page when you try open it 
at first.

It doesn't happen with Windows version. If I remember it correctly, the Windows version also had this 
problem before, but not anymore.

With Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050325 Firefox/1.0+ 
while loading the text on the left is ?????, but it quickly changes to a foreign language. On reload it 
loads with the foreign text right away.

The content for the embedded IFRAME is served without a charset and 
does not contain a META tag.  http://www1.stoo.com/popular/new_main.html
