Hi
My problem is that the charset in the meta tag is not recognized in the page generated from the function below.
I'm using Hebrew in the html page, in the original page with the same meta tag text displays from right to left as it should for charset=iso-8859-8. In the generated html the text is reversed.

function getPrintPage() {
var pp = window.open();
with (pp.document) {
open();
writeln("<html><head>");
writeln("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='tlush.css'>");
writeln('<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8"></meta>');
writeln("</head><BODY BGCOLOR='WHITE' TEXT='NAVY'>");
writeln("<P class=newpage>");
writeln("<Table Frame=Box Align='center'><TR><TD>");
writeln(document.getElementById('print1104').innerHTML);
writeln("</TD></TR></TABLE>");
writeln("</p></body></html>");
close();
}
pp.print();
}

Thanks for any help

I'm trying to work this one out, but cannot even get hard-coded text to appear right-to-left, as you say should work with the meta tag. This is my test harness:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8"></meta>
</head>
<body>
	the cat sat on the mat
</body>
</html>

Can you post your code that does appear RTL? Personally, I'd find debugging the dynamic code much easier if I could get the hard-coded stuff working first ;o)
