Storing the MIME code-page name

To store the MIME code-page name, use one of the following techniques:

Using HTML, store the MIME code-page name in a hidden-form field or a query field called wscharset.

Note: The field must be called wscharset.

In the following fragment, the MIME code-page name is stored in a hidden-form field called wscharset:

<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type"
CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="test.w">
Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" ID="name"><BR>
Address: <INPUT TYPE="text" ID="address"><BR>
City: <INPUT TYPE="text" ID="city"><BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="wscharset" VALUE="windows-1252">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>

In the following fragment, the MIME code page is stored in a query field called wscharset:

Use the SET-COOKIE WebSpeed API function to create a cookie called wscharset containing the MIME code-page name, as shown in the following fragment:

SET-COOKIE("wscharset":U, "iso-8859-2":U, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?).

Dynamic code-page support does not work if the code-page name is stored using the CHARSET attribute of the META tag exclusively or the WebSpeed API outputContentType() function exclusively. You must also store the code-page name in wscharset. Also, the stored code-page names must match.
