I've attached a sample.aspx content, i've already doing a character
conversion from SHIFT-JIS to windows-1252, i've set responseconding to
'windows-1252' to post the data (rightclick on IE and encoding is western
european). but when i do that the , button which has japan text comes as
question mark... so what i need is that post with windows 1252 and have the
button display in same as displayed in the page.

Let's step back. Looking at the page, it looks like you are setting up a
form submit to google. Is that your goal? Submit to Google and get a valid
search?

Rather than "how to I solve the problem in the manner I am already trying
to solve it" let's get to "how do I solve the problem". So, what is the
goal. Not the goal plus the proposed solution, but a simple statement of
what the actual problem is.

Peace and Grace,

ok. Lets say i want to post the data to a
http:\\localhost\mysite\default.aspx.

when i cut paste the below code and put in sample.aspx and run it, right
click in IE , it has encoding as western european coz i've set
responseencoding as 'windows-1252' right.

My question is :
Page has a button <input type=button value="ＰＣ商品一式" /> with Japenese text,
which comes as ?????, i hope u have noticed it when type in sample.aspx in
the browser. SO my question is i want the japaenese text button remains as it
is and i wanna choose encoding as 'western european' to post the data when i
click the submit button. is my question clear :(?

Is the button the only problem? If the button simply has to be in
Japanese, but all submissions need to be in 1252, then why not make an
image with the japanese characters and leave everything else 1252. This
will solve the button is not Japanese problem, if that is truly the
problem. ImageButton works nicely here and is much simpler than
translating the button.

If the main issue is output of the button on an otherwise 1252 page, you
are always going to have an issue. And if you are setting up the page as
Japanese and trying to convert, that might be a more complex solution
than needed.

Is the text entered Japanese? And, do you have to recreate it as
Japanese later?

Is storing in a database a problem? And, if so, can you change to
national variable character (2 byte, or Unicode) insted of variable
character (1 byte, or ANSI - ASCII if you wish)?

Or, perhaps you are really aiming at globalizing the application? If so,
there are numerous additions that allow for globalizing the application.

The main point of translating from one code page to another, or ANSI to
Unicode, etc, is the persistence of data. In a windows app, it could be
taking a Unicode file and saving as ANSI. In a web app, it might be
saving as varchar in SQL Server when the page is Unicode. But making a
whole page Japanese so you can make the button correct and then
converting everything to another code page to save in English goes
contrary to the way the system is meant to operate.

Am I hitting on the right direction, or did I miss something?
