ASP Charset Property

The Charset property appends the name of a character-set to the content-type header in the Response object. Default character set is ISO-LATIN-1.

Note: This property will accept any string, regardless of whether it is a valid character set or not, for the name.

Syntax

response.Charset(charsetname)

Parameter	Description
charsetname	A string that specifies a character set for the page

If an ASP page has no Charset property set, the content-type header would be:

content-type:text/html

If we included the Charset property:

<%response.Charset="ISO-8859-1"%>

the content-type header would be:

content-type:text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
