Right, I have some questions that I need answers for.

1- I know you use UTF-8 for English pages, but what do you use for French ones? Is there a validator built for french sites? The W3C one seems to not like non-UTF-8 documents.

2- Is there a CSS hack to fix problems with layers for IE6? If not, is there a way to, with Javascript, redirect IE6 (And IE 1-5 users, just windows, not Mac) to another section of the site?

1 - The same way you do for English pages. The validator has no problems with non-utf8.

2 - What is a layer? There is no such thing in html or css. What problem are you speaking of? There are many in IE. Ignore IE<6. There are no worthwhile users and the browser is worse than the other lousy versions of IE.

yeah this is pretty simple actually. You can do it through javascript.

I didn't try this but it will probably do what you are asking:

I'm sure there are tons of other pages that will do this. But this one looked pretty quick and painless.
