Yesterday, someone wrote an Japanese email to our church using the form on the church homepage. But, we couldn't read anything, because of encoding problems – all characters were like complex traditional chinese kanji you would only use in names.
I was surprised with this, as I had tested the system in various browsers on my mac with no problems at all. (Yes I should have tested it on Windows, but you know…) I even have IEv6 running on Wine - the problem is, it doesn't have support for Japanese characters (or maybe it just needs a Japanese font). Therefore I didn't test it with that.
The person who wrote the email, was apparently using IE 6 on Windows – I already told you the result.
Wouldn't it be nice, if there was a web service or a browser that would show your web page rendered in all major browsers and you could test the functionality in all browsers? I haven't found such service yet. It would save so much work.
Please someone, make this for all web developers including me.
