I just received email from a MAC IE5 user who said • didn't display a bullet for him. I thought it did.
Anyone have a chart that shows characters supported by both MAC and Windows? Thanks in advance.
What kind of charset do you have declared on pages? You can also use • .
Here are some links that could help a bit.

charset=ISO-8859-1, which • seems to be correct. When I used • it did not validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional
Thanks for the charts
<added> Correction, it does validate when • is used. Now, is • really not supported by MAC IE, before I go and spend 2 hours replacing these on 190 pages? Thanks
According to w3c in this chart,
[w3.org...]
it is not a ISO-8859-1 legal character. I suspect changing • to • wont change anything and • is correct.

IE fo Mac is quite picky. Most treads here are about this piece.
Without a MAC machine, I'm really lost with this. Most all the recording studios (except mine) around here use MAC for their audio layering tools, but I don't know any that are also online. Even our 2 local libraries both use PC.
I know I need to change a couple contact forms to support MAC. Keeps slipping my mind until a frustrated visitor emails me about it.
Deja Vu - While W3C validates the page(s) using • the CSE HTML Validator Lite v3.00 on my desktop says "ERROR: The character entity "•" is not a recognized entity. Did you misspell it?"
This is what I remember occuring a year ago, and the reason why I had changed to the • - as Gilda Radner said "It's always something!"
