I don't hebrew on my site.

[Mr. x]

Hello,

I am building a web-site.
For a reason, I don't know why,
if I put my site on my computer - I see hebrew character fine,
but when I put my site on hosting company I don't see hebrew character.

In my html page there is a line in the head section :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255">

Till, I don't see hebrew, only when I try to see my site from the web
(hosting company).

What may be the reason for that ?

Thanks

Most likely the Web server is sending a Content-Type header with a different
character set, which overrides the meta tag in the source code.

Would greatly help to know WHAT do you see instead ?

So, what you are saying I should find another hosting server company.

I see another characters instead of Hebrew (letter "a" with two dots above
it, etc...)
This behaviour happens only when I am using aspx, or asmx, and doesn't
happen on html, nor java scripts,
so it seems to be a problem on the server side.

I hardly believe that there is a problem in the hosting company that doesn't
support multi-language support (in my case www.webhost4life.com), but also I
need (to be sure about this) some tinny scripts for aspx and asmx, pleasem
that are declared for character set (Hebrew = windows-1255).

Thanks

That is a question which you should ask of your hosting company. If
they are not Israeli, they may be unable to read Hebrew; but they ought
to be able to recognise whether or not Hebrew is being displayed.

Simply look at the headers to tell for sure (and rather than changing providers,
you can probably ask them to change the server configuration):

telnet yourserver.example.com 80
GET /yourpage.aspx HTTP/1.0
