JIS-Encoded Documents May Not Be Displayed Properly with PWS (163900)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Personal Web Server 1.0 for Macintosh
This article was previously published under Q163900 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to access a Web page that uses Japanese character set
(JIS) encoding on a computer running Microsoft Personal Web Server for
Macintosh, the page may not be displayed properly.
CAUSE
Personal Web Server for Macintosh supports a subset of the Active Server
Pages functionality available with Microsoft Internet Information Server
and treats all files with .asp, .html, and .htm extensions as Active
Server Pages files. When Active Server Pages files are processed, all
instances of the "<%" character combination are removed. If the HTML file
associated with the Web page you are attempting to access contains
instances of this character combination, all instances are removed and the
page may not be displayed properly. The "<%" character combination is
common in JIS-encoded HTML files.
RESOLUTION
To prevent Personal Web Server from displaying JIS-encoded Web pages, use
the .jis extension on HTML files associated with the Web pages instead of
the .html or .htm extension.
MORE INFORMATION
JIS encoding is used in Web pages that use the JIS character set. JIS is a
non-Windows character set that is frequently used in Japanese Web pages.
