Definition and Usage
The accept-charset attribute specifies the character-sets the server can handle for form-data.
Browser Support
The accept-charset attribute is supported by all major browsers, except Internet Explorer.
Note: The accept-charset attribute does not work properly in Internet
Explorer. If accept-charset="ISO-8859-1", IE will send data encoded as
"Windows-1252".
Syntax
| <form accept-charset="value"> |
Attribute Values
| Value |
Description |
| character_set |
One or more character-sets that the server can handle. To specify more than one character set, separate the sets with a comma.
Common values:
- UTF-8 - Character encoding for Unicode
- ISO-8859-1 - Character encoding for the Latin alphabet
In theory, any character encoding can be used, but no browser understands all of them. The more widely a
character encoding is used, the better the chance that a browser will understand it.
To view all available character encodings, go to our Character sets reference.
