We’ve got another great meeting lined up for the MMUG Belgium on November 21st featuring both Mike Chambers and Danny Dura from Macromedia. They’ll be showing us the recently released Alpha versions of Flex Builder 2, Flex 2, Flash Player 8.5 and ActionScript 3.

If that isn’t enough, we’ll also be raffling of a full license of Studio 8 to one lucky attendee as well as some other goodies!

The meeting will take place in Mechelen, our venue will be announced soon. Registration has just opened, the event is free of charge as always but registration is required!

I hadn’t come across this problem before today but its interesting enough to do a little blog post about.

If you use an external CSS file in your HTML and both files have a different character set encoding (in my case an HTML page in Unicode and the CSS regular ASCII) the page will not render correctly. To resolve this you need to add the @charset directive at the very top of your external CSS file, in the example below using iso-8859-1 (Latin 1) as its value.

@charset "ISO-8859-1";

#header {
	color: #666666;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 14px;
	text-align: center;
}

Another solution is of course to save the external CSS file as Unicode, nice bit of CSS trivia nonetheless ;)
