OK fellas.... I have a little problem on my hands right now. I am trying to view this website, but I can not get the arabic to work on it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.... mostly all I have found after googling was how to get arabic while using IE 5.0 but I am using the newest version. I will be waiting for an answer....

Choose View\Encoding\More\Arabic (Windows). If there is no option for arabic, you will need to install more language packages for Windows. You should find those packages in Control Panel\Regional and Language Options. Have your Windows CD handy.

I am assuming you use WinXP, btw.

I got it in one swing on my computer. First pass it was illegible, but I switched the character coding to Arabic (ISO 8859-6) and that fixed it right up.

I don't know what setup you have OS-wise, but I'm running XP Pro. Also, I'm not using IE. I'm using Firebird 0.7. However, if you can go to View and change your Character Coding to that particular Arabic set, you should be good to go. I would think that shouldn't be a problem in IE.

Edit: Woops, beat to the punch. Didn't see Delta's response before I posted mine. D'oh!
