If I do so, it displays &eacute; and not é. DotNet encodes the string I give
him. The problem is that the pagecode it uses is not well supported by IE
Mac

If anyone cares :

It took me a long time to find it, but now it works!

the solution is to fix the charset to "windows-1252" in web.config :
<globalization requestEncoding="windows-1252"
responseEncoding="windows-1252" culture="fr-FR"/>

It works with all the browsers I tested (IE, Netscape 6, Mozilla, Safari and
Opera 6 under Windows, Mac and Linux)

Hope this helps
