I am creating a searchable site, but haveing problems with the swedish characters Ã¥ ä ö, which becomes å ... ä .... ö.

If I search a word like Åke it can't be found since DW types it like åke

I have tried to change it but it keeps changing back. What can do?

Hi Ronnie,

Dreamweaver changes special characters when you type them in Design View. This is done to ensure that the characters are displayed well in most browsers.

If you don't want that, you can type them in Code View directly.

I have same problem with making a dataset update page or insert page.
when inserting åäö in database. all other characters goes in to database but not åäö even then when I use Nchar or Nvarchar.

I'm Using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and MS sql Server

I founded a solution to make inserts and search with sweadish chars.
You have to use charset utf-8
