A recent update resulted in Spanish characters rendering incorrectly in QA. I added the following line to the .asp files to try and correct it.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> This worked fine in QA but not production. When I changed it to
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
It worked in production but not QA. Are there server settings that are likely causing this? Where do I look?

Steal, first of all Welcome to WebmasterWorld! A webserver can send a HTTP header which defines the charset. If this header is present, the meta setting in the head section of your HTML code is ignored. Unfortunately I have no IIS system currently available so I can't tell you how to change this header send behaviour on a Microsoft based webserver.

Thanks Lammert,
Anyone out there know how to control this behaviour w/ MS IIS?
