UTF-8 and Latin-1 characters

Since I am Swedish, I write website content mostly in Swedish language
and using charset iso-8859-1. I have (just for testing) tried to use
utf-8 on a test page ( http://w1.978.telia.com/~u97802964/test.html )
but the special Swedish characters don't come out right if I dont use
entities for them.

The Swedish characters in question is:
Latin letter a with ring above = å (å)
Latin letter a with diaeresis = ä (ä)
Latin letter o with diaeresis = ö (ö)

I realize I can use the entities, but I found a page with Swedish
content ( http://w1.318.comhem.se/~u31827122/scsiguide.html ) where
utf-8 is used and the characters come out right even without the use
of entities.

So my question to anybody who can give an answer, is how it comes that
I fail and somebody else can do it? I can't see anything different in
this other page that could make it possible :(

About the rendering mode, it's easy to see in Mozilla if a page is
rendering as standard or quirks mode just by looking at the "view page
info". But it's not possible to see how IE is rendering the same page?

You could use a bookmarklet to show the document.compat Mode property:
javascript: alert(document. compatMode); void 0
In IE5/5.5 which doesn't have any strict mode but could be said to be
always in quirks mode with its IE only box model that should alert
undefined
with IE 6 if it is quirks mode that should show
BackCompat
and if it is strict mode it should show
CSS1Compat


Thank's Martin for the tip, appreciate it!

How do I load and save a UTF-8 document in XML in ASP/VBS? Well, the loading* is not the problem actually -- the file is in UTF-8, and understood correctly -- but once saved, the UTF-8 is replaced by what seems to be iso-8859-1 (which Flash doesn't understand, but that's another problem). Any help greatly appreciated. * Something like this...

Can someone explain why I don't seem unable to use document.write to produce a valid UTF-8 none breaking space sequence (Hex: C2A0) ?

Hi everybody, Is there any SIMPLE way to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-32? I may be mixed up, but is it possible that all UTF-16 "code points" that are 16 bits long appear just the same in UTF-32, but with zero padding and hence no real conversion is necessary? If I am completely wrong and some intricate conversion operation needs to take place, can anyone give me some primer on the subject?
