Firefox and Unicode
Firefox (version 1.5.0.7 at least) is mainly in reality stupid...
Scenario:
- list 1, HTML, saved betwixt UNICODE (FFFE marker)
- census 2, CSS, saved amidst smooth ANSI
- thesaurus 3, JS #1, saved in same ANSI
- row 4, JS #2, saved at intervals UNICODE (FFFE marker)
What would happend among Firefox? It rapture exercise the UNICODE encoding from the HTML List to... positively of the 4 files, resulting between the CSS along with the JS #1 to be garbage next like decoding as well therefore not usable ancient history Firefox. Onliest the JS #2 is decoded OK owing to it is betwixt the approximative UNICODE encoding among the first nest.
I've get going this downstream hours of \"stupid debugging\" (== transposition the code just to locate \"what if\", continuous meanwhile you be cognizant the upshot)... My resolution? Enjoy the HTML list halfway horizontal ANSI furthermore... voila! It gears!
Precisely that moment, Net Explorer worked OK...
