The accept attribute takes a comma separated list of content
types. In W3C lingo, "content type" is synonymous with MIME type
or media type; text/plain is an example of a MIME type.
Peradventure, you meant to write "accept-charset attribute": a
space and/or comma separated list of "charsets" (character
encodings). ISO-8859-15 is an example of a charset. Anyway,
browser support for accept-charset is pathetic, I believe.

yes, my mistake
The from-mysql-showed-text was full of '?' ('�') instead of '-' and "'".
But when i switched Mozilla->View->Coding->iso-8859-1, the '?' were replaced by
the good '-' and "'".
Sounds awfully like you're not advertising the character encoding
properly -- got a URL?
an URL? i'm developping the web site internally, i can't make it public now.
but i've forgotten one thing:
* the texte i put in the textarea is copied from the original (static html)
website. If i replace all the wrong letter, by the same one, typed from
keyboard (instead of copied), it works...
Forget about that meta hack. What you should be doing is sending
the charset parameter with a bona fide Content-Type header. So if
your document is sent in Latin-9 encoded text, you should ensure
that your server is outputting:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15
This is plain sailing in your server, Apache; or you could use
PHP's header function to override the server-set Content-Type
field value.
Well i had added the following directive in httpd.conf:
AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-15
wich leads to: (Mozilla request and apache 1.3.28 answer)

So i change it to iso-8859-1, and it works (everything i've tested this
morning)!!! Thx you so much! I had completely forgot this directive.
Just a little explanation: i tried to use -15 mainly because of the euro sign;
but in html, there is an "entity" for it, so i'm gonna use -1 since it's seems
better handled (and also because most of web sites are in -1 and since the
translation in textarea wich the specified accept-charset is not done, it's
definitely a better choice - i don't have php-iconv -).
(sorry for my bad english)
