TIP 45: Adding Document Encodings to Pages with Errors


Document encoding is a little piece of HTML syntax that tells the browser which character set (charset) to use when displaying a Web page. Charset refers to the set of characters used in a particular language (English, French, and so on). If you open a page that was created without a document encoding assigned, GoLive offers options for correcting the omission. Use one of the following methods to assign a document encoding to a page.

Where's My Language?

The last option in the File > Document Encoding submenu is Edit. Edit lets you enable additional character sets such as Greek, Cryillic, Korean, and others.


If you open a file missing the document encoding, a dialog box opens. Selecting the first radio button and then clicking Open opens the page while temporarily using the encoding selected in the pull-down menu, but the code is not added to the page. To add the code permanently to the page, click the second radio button and choose the preferred encoding from the pull-down (Figure 45). GoLive writes the necessary code, and you won't get the dialog the next time you open the page.

Figure 45. Select the character set from the pull-down menu and click the appropriate radio button.


Once a page is open, you can still change the character encoding by choosing File > Document Encoding and then choosing from the list in the submenu.
