Make sure to use <strong>utf8</strong></p> <p>Using different encoding for the iframe and your page shouldn't be a problem either.</p> <p>2) Yes, edit confirm_embed.php and confirm.php, search around line 57. Sorry for this, it should be included with the language file.</p> <p>If you still having difficulty, please let me know your machform login info and the URL to your page where you have your form.

Problem might come from the fact that I iframe my unicode form into a latin 1 website...</p> <p>I haven't had such issue in the past tough using different set of characters in an iframe and the page.</p> <p>Has anyone encountered a similar issue, any suggestions or workaround are welcome?</p> <p>2) Can I localize the following error message: "Your session has been expired. Please click here to start again." when clicking on the back button after submitting the form?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
