Hi,
I'm working on a multilingual website and I have some trouble with Polish characters. Whenever I paste the Polish text into the CMS I work with (custom built by the company I work for), it will be processed differently by IE and Firefox. Firefox converts all special characters to numeric character references, which is what I want. IE on the other hand doesn't seem able to handle the Polish characters.
My question is: how can I make IE's behaviour similar to Firefox's in this case?
At this moment i'm not specifying a charset in the <head> tags. This is because it's hard for me to change this in the CMS, because it's Zend encoded and it would be very time-consuming. If this would be a solution however I ofcourse have no choice.
A simplified version of the form I'm talking about is here: http://www.baseplace.nl/hosted/polishproblem/test.php
A sample Polish text is there as well.
This is what the POST variable looks like in Firefox: (GOOD, I want this)

This is what the POST variable looks like in Internet Explorer: (BAD)
