Unicode IE5.2 on Mac OSX

Non-ASCII data becomes blank in select boxes

Hello,
I have developped a multilanguage site under Linux/Apache/PHP/PostgresQL.
I used PostgreSQL in order to use Unicode.
I'm sending a header like this:
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
before output.

It seems there is no problem in mozilla/opera Linux
nor under IE6/windows

BUT,under McOSX IE 5.2
within the selectboxes, any item containing non ASCII data becomes blank. Once selected it is displayed correctly.

Has someone already met this problem?
Any clue to this?
I unfortunately have no Mac to test this thoroughly :(
Thanks

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, jisisv. So far you seem to have stumped the panel!

Hang in there, I've called for some extra help behind the scenes. We may yet have something intelligent to offer on the topic.

Hi jisisv,

>So far you seem to have stumped the panel!

You can say that again tedster.

I have done a bit of searching about it on USENET and reputed bug hunting sites. I did not find anything.

I assume that non ASCII characters outside selectboxes are displaying correctly?

Hi,
Indeed , everything on the page except the
items containing non ASCII characters displays
correctly on the page.

Hi jisisv,

If your input fields would be on some inline frame on the midle of the nav page, wouldn't you need a charset definition on both pages?
