The way to duplicate is as follows:
1) Save the following file to your hard drive in ASCII:
<html>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=western/iso">
<head>
<title>Wacky IE Flaw :]</title>
</head>
<body>
+1-
<script>
var v="a"+"A"
</script>
</body>
</html>
2) Load the Web Page
3) Un-Check Auto-Select
4) Select Western European (windows)
5) Check Auto-Select
.. . IE will now auto-detect as utf-7, reload the page and fail very
miserably
.. . The page will now fail every time you load until you click on
Western European (windows) or Western European (ISO)
.. . IE will completely ignore
Notes:
- The above sounds convoluded but I two different developers machines
fail exactly the same way because of this without us hacking around
with encoding at all. Although a co-incedence, it will and I am sure
does happen.
- If file is saved in Unicode or utf-8, it will be auto detected
because of data in the file header.
- This problem only happens when file is saved as ASCII which is
unfortunately a very common format.
