How can I get the degrees symbol to display correctly on a web page created with Asp.Net MVC without encoding it? The following HTML code will display �C using VS 2017:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<div>°C</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem was solved by ensuring that the source file in Visual Studio 2017 was saved with the correct UTF-8 encoding.
To do this, first select Save As from the File menu. Then select the "Save with Encoding..." option in the Save dialog:
Then select the UTF-8 encoding:

I have an mvc solution with a standard view using _Layout page for layout. Layout page has charset=utf-8 set in the header like so:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
For some reason, when I type "£" symbol in the view I get it displayed as "A£", with a dash above "A". At the same time when I put the same symbol in the _Layout page it's displaying fine. I got this resolved by using encoded value
£
but was wondering why does it happen?
It may have happened because of a mismatch between <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> and the encoding of your physical file.
E.g. Your file could be saved as ISO-8859-1.
I have read that note. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver for all my files and I think it is encoded in 'utf-8'.
I'm using PhpStorm 8.0.2. On certain file types like .html the editor limits what I can type. For example, pressing Enter does nothing inside any of the tags (if I want a new space, I need to type Shift-Enter.
This happens even with a stub text:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Let's say I'm on the line with the body tag, and hit Enter. Nothing happens. Similarly, if I try to close a div with a '>', the editor won't let me, like so:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="test"
</body>
</html>
I've disabled all third party plugins, and sifted through the editor settings to see if some auto-formatting settings would be responsible, but I haven't found anything applicable. I've tried to delete the .idea folder in the project root in case the project files would've somehow become corrupted (made no difference), and also tried to turn off HTML inspections (made no difference).
It's also interesting to note that the editor does let me add '<' and '>' characters when they're not associated with any tags:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<<><<><><<<>>><<><
</body>
</html>
This suggests that specific keypresses are indeed limited by some kind of context-awareness that is not working as expected.
Any thoughs on this? I've observed this on earlier versions of PhpStorm as well.
Thanks!
Please try invalidating caches(File/Invalidate caches, Restart). Such issues can be caused by broken indexes
I'm trying to get started with Cassette via NuGet. I'm having issues with it in my app so I rolled back and tried it in a new empty ASP.NET MVC 3 web application.
However, the problem persists. Following the documentation page "Easy to use", I simply can't get it to work. Here's the exception along with a bit of the stack:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
Cassette.CassetteApplicationContainer.get_Application() +6
Cassette.Views.Bundles.Reference(String assetPathOrBundlePathOrUrl, String pageLocation) +14
ASP._Page_Views_Shared__Layout_cshtml.Execute() in d:\Dave\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\CasetteTest\Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml:2
System.Web.WebPages.WebPageBase.ExecutePageHierarchy() +207
I simply followed the two steps in the documentation and this is what I get. What am I doing wrong?
This is what my _Layout.cshtml file looks like:
#{
Bundles.Reference("Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js");
Bundles.Reference("Scripts/modernizr-1.7.min.js");
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>#ViewBag.Title</title>
<link href="#Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
#RenderBody()
#Bundles.RenderScripts();
</body>
</html>
I figured it out.
I included the Cassette.Views package which does not create a default CassetteConfiguration.cs file that bundles each script and each css file in its own bundle. That's what triggered the NullReferenceException. In order to get it to work, you'll need to add the Cassette.Web package instead. In my defense, the package descriptions in the NuGet gallery are not clear and one is led to believe that the Views package is required for MVC and the other for WebForms.
The next problem was that I referenced the minified '.min.js' scripts which are not picked up by the bundler (it seems).
Cannot reproduce the issue.
4 simple steps allowed me to get a fully working prototype in less than 30 seconds:
Create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 project in Visual Studio
Install-Package Cassette.Web
Index.cshtml:
#using Cassette.Web
#{
Bundles.Reference("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.js");
Bundles.Reference("~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.11.js");
Bundles.Reference("~/Content/site.css");
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Web App</title>
#Bundles.RenderStylesheets()
</head>
<body>
<div>Hello World</div>
#Bundles.RenderScripts()
</body>
</html>
Hit Ctrl+F5 to run the project
I am currently working on Classic ASP for one of my project. For non English languages I am getting boxes instead of special characters. I am rendering using UTF-8 but sometimes the characters goes to boxes. It comes back normal when I click refresh sometimes.
I followed all the steps below but i still get this problem
XML:
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
HTML:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Am I missing anything here? Thanks.
Add this to your page:
Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "utf-8"
It should display all correctly now.
Hope that helps
It's amazing BUT nobody gives a complete answer on what to do this PROPERLY... I hope this help somebody like me, because it was so hard to find the whole picture...
---------------- PREVIOUS CONSIDERATIONS --------------
FIRST, make sure IIS IS NOT replacing the Code Page... Go to IIS, click the Website, open ASP module, on Behavior it should be >> Code Page = 0
SECOND, The file itself should be checked, YES! the file... open your file explorer on windows (my computer), go to the folder where the files of your website are, take for example "default.asp", right click >> open with >> notepad THEN click on File >> Save As... IN THE DIALOG at the bottom says "Encoding", make sure it has UTF-8, otherwise you will have to add the
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in every page (including server side includes), which is not correct.
---------------- CORRECT STRUCTURE OF THE PAGE --------------
<%#LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%><%
Response.AddHeader "Content-Type", "text/html;charset=utf-8"
%><!-- #include virtual="/conexion.asp" -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="es">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
áéíóú
</body>
</html>
It should work fine now with QueryStrings, Database and regular HTML... uffff
In my Grails GSP file I'm using the HTML meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
The problem is that Grails closes this tag and renders it as:
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
This fails W3C's HTML validation (since my doctype is HTML and not XHTML).
Is there a fix for this? How can I get Grails to not interpret the
meta tag?
I'm using grails-1.2-M4.
Follow up:
I create the Grails bug GRAILS-5696 for this issue.
Not sure that this is the most beautiful solution, but at least it will work for your case:
<%= '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">' %>
Well...this does not work since it is preprocessed by Grails before displayed as is.
So the only solution I see is to create a TagLib and output the content like this:
class MetaTagLib {
static namespace = 'my'
def meta = {
out << "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\"/>"
}
}
and use it like:
<my:meta />
It works. Tested.
You could validate as HTML5 instead of HTML 4.01, by using <!DOCTYPE html> (that's it, really!). HTML5 allows trailing slashes even in the HTML syntax, in order to allow for systems like this that produce pseudo-XHTML.
Of course, HTML5 is not yet a finished standard; it may change. I think that this aspect of it is unlikely to be changed, but there is still some fairly contentious debate about a lot of the new HTML5 features, so keep in mind that it's not yet finalized.
