This one is a puzzler to me. DW 8.02, ASP, MySQL. If I either insert or update a BLOB field in the mySQL db, it inserts fine, the data looks fine (viewing using BLOB editor in MySQL front) but when it gets displayed on my webpages, it is all in an Asian character set. The headers on my pages look like this:

@Language="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="language" content="en-us" />

Hi,

I am no ACE but I think your problem may be with the new 'charset=utf-8'

If not carset utf-8, what should one use? I also remember when DW used charset 1252 in the asp header instead of the 65001 that is being used now.
