I noticed that my worked and uploaded file in previous versions worked good encoding for central European language. Any aditional editing in make me crazy.

Can you please explain what is going on? I will atach here above file. File from one image is working another after editing with HTML editor is not working like it need to. Which one is wrong you can see without knowing language.

It is after additional editing or changing.

W3C Returned this... Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 134 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as windows-1250 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: cp1250 "\x88" does not map to Unicode

Looks like your meta tag is incorrect. As well as your charset.

I disagree it. How this files are been treated as right and readable for public just until few month ago since year 2000?

If I get another editor even trial or for free, and try it on, than result could be better what I wish and readable for public.
Actually I will find old one Coffecup editor maybe from 2006 and let try work with it.

Andres, it seems that the site was made in 2004. I see that the charset declaration is misplaced in the first of the two links and corrected in the secont one.

The CC html Editor has had LOADS of updates since then, and I'd advise you to download the most recent one (and there will be yet another update shortly). Then start using html 5 and charset utf-8.

If the characters that are specific to your language don't appear correct right away, then you may have to use html entities for them. I have been working on a Turkish site recently (www.fokaibalik.com), and I had to do the same for the Turkish special characters.

Addendum:

Andres, I just noticed now that you are saying the site was ok until recently. Have you perhaps already updated your browser and opened the site in it? Even if you have done nothing more than clicked Save, the site will have changed when it comes to the way it is saving and rendering. It has to do with exactly what I said above about Doctype and charset. I have had the same problem when something in the Html Editor was changed some 1 - 1.5 years ago. But if you use doctype html5 and charset utf-8, it should get right again. At least it did for me in Norwegian.

This relates to my recent post "Charset encoding doesn't work..." and it has nothing to do with meta tags and I bet the charset encodings are correctly chosen but the html editor just doesn't deliver what it promises...

Andres, try this: open up your file(s) with gedit text editor - free, available for win & linux - and just save the file(s) again with proper charset encoding (while saving you can choose the encoding as you like). I bet this works!

Note: After doing this, if you open this newly saved file again with html text editor, it "corrupts" the file in sense that it somehow forces the utf-8 encodings back to your file. My solution: until this is fixed - not using hrml editor at all... sadly :|

Please see this post and follow the lead if you would. Quite a few posts here and I don't think there are answers in the user forums for this so:

I notice also that UTF 8 isn"t working in my case at all. Typical central European characters ? Ž Š are with UTF 8 replaced to C Z S. In mozilla they are not visible correct as well.

Normadie. I will try with Gedit editor. Thanks.
Inger. My browser wasn"t been updated but I deleted and installed again Mozilla after this case came up. Nothing helps. :((
