When I view in IE, the option displayes as square boxes in drop down list but when I view in Firefox, it shows actual characters. Both browsers have their encoding set to UTF-8.

Hi pullp,

Regarding the 'square boxes' you refer to, my guess is there is a problem with the fonts that IE is handling. Maybe in the following site you can find information that helps you solve this issue.

additionally please note: if you are using an HTML skin you need to add the attributes to the XML file.

Hello pullp,

Sebastian is referring to a file stored inside the same folder I originally pointed you to. In the case of a fresh DNN installation, that folder would be, for example: <RootDir>\Portals\_default\Skins\DNN-Blue. Within that folder you will find a file called skin.xml.

Within that file you should look at the following lines, and change them to suit your needs:

  <Object>
    <Token>[LANGUAGE]</Token>
    <Settings>
      <Setting>
        <Name>showMenu</Name>
        <Value>False</Value>
      </Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Name>showLinks</Name>
        <Value>True</Value>
      </Setting>
    </Settings>
  </Object>

Now, to be completely honest: My experience in skinning is a little bit limited. So my advice would be to change the 'showMenu' and 'showLink' in both places, this XML and the .ascx file I mentioned previously. If you digg this issue a little deeper, I am sure you will gain a better understanding of skinning techniques, and so should I... ;-)

However, HTH.

Saludos,

Alejandro.

Thanks all..I was able to see the languages in Dropdown list after changing in the horizontal-full...ascx file.

I was wondering why some of the language names show up as squares in IE but not in Firefox. I will try out the other suggestion
