I have attached to test files in XHTML, one user utf-8 in the header and the other iso-8859-1.

The header of the document is like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">The swedish character ä looks like \344 in CVS Emacs (2005-09-23). It looks ok in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. Looking at the file with Notepad also shows the swedish characters as expected.I would be glad for some hints and pointers! I am using nxml-mode if that matters here.Could you please send me the whole file?
I find this a bit confusing still. What character is entered by Emacs when I type ä on my swedish keyboard? When I look at the character ä in Emacs with (following-char) it in both test files returns 2276. Is that what I would expect in the iso-8859-1 test file? (It starts with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>)
Using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2005-09-28
The header in this file contains <xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
| Character and context | Internet Explorer | Firefox |
|---|---|---|
| This is the swedish character ä entered in a new iso-8859-1 file. | Correct | Correct |
| This is swedish ä entered in a new utf-8 file. |
Compare this with using UTF-8

If <xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> is changed to use 8859-1 Emacs still displays the entered characters as they were correct.
Emacs and Firefox seems to handle this correctly. However due to bugs in Internet Explorer only ISO-8859-1 currently can handle both browsers.
