HOWTO: Prevent ASP page from displaying Chinese characters when outputing using...

[Antonio Ooi]

Hi,

Probably due to my 'Language for non-Unicode Setting' in Regional Settings,
my ASP page keeps outputing the date format as Chinese Simplified characters
when issuing say, <%=Now()%>. In addition, my client script also interpret
it as Chinese characters, which I don't want it to behave this way. However,
I can't remove my 'Chinese (PRC)' settings in control panel as I need it for
other Chinese version software. Does anyone knows how can I display the date
in my ASP page in normal English? I did try out the META tag Content Type
and put in several charset to try out, but seems like it doesn't work at
all.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Antonio

No, I need to use functions like MonthName() a well, and this causing the
same problem too. Any idea? Thanks!
