Hi,
How can I display characters from different character sets on the same HTML
page?
How to simultaneously display multiple languages on the same page.

I am using div tag to display source and target languages in a same asp.net
page.
I have to open different source and target language side by side in same page.

It works properly when language is english but japanease and other languages
are not coming properly.

I used iFrame tag also and it was working fine it displays the languages
properly in the same page. but client side events are not available.

If there's anybody knowledgeable about this topic, preferably someone who
has implemented it before, please assist.

Thanks...
Varsha.

Use a Unicode encoding, either UTF-8 or UCS-2. In an normal browser with
fonts appropriate installed it should work.

Note that for ASPX you will have to do both:
1) Set page encoding in its properties to, say, UTF-8, and
2) Save the page source in this encoding too, by File -> Save As… and choosing
"Save with Encoding …" from the dropdown on the Save button.

Note also that not all fonts support multiple charsets … Arial is the most
capable, I think.
