Hi, we try to explain as simple as possible :)

we have a problem with our site and script on customer server. Please note that on ours server (local and online) it's all ok

it seems that this server don't view correctly letters as אטעי.. and special char

we think that is not correctly setting the charset on apache ..

so

I have into my html
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
But I see only bad character..
"Seems" that server force utf-8 charset..

What do you thin about?

You'll need to examine the HTTP headers of your server's responses, and then change Apache's default character set [httpd.apache.org] if required. If you get different results between IE and non-IE browsers, this is almost certainly the cause. There are two 'levels' of character-set specification, the first is at the server level, and the second is the on-page meta-tag character set definition. Most browsers use the on-page definition only if the page is viewed off-line; Otherwise, priority is given to character-set specified in the server response header.

Use an on-line server headers checker, or try the Live HTTP Headers extension for FireFox, available from Mozilla.

Also, if your site supports only one language, it may help to disable content-negotiation.
