Error: Failed to display HTML document in ISO-8859-1 encoding

Sun Dec 3 03:09:38 PST 2006

a) the problem came when I ran the wx demos from the web site and ran them.
b) the problem also came when I tried to use a wxHtmlListBox with quite 
innocuous Ascii characters (viz. no Cyrillics). But when I tried 
Cyrillics they displayed correctly.
c) wxHtmlListBox has to be subclassed and the function 
wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItem has to be implemented. Here is the text from 
the online manuals:

      wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItem

*wxString* *OnGetItem*(*size_t */n/) *const*

This method must be implemented in the derived class and should return 
the body (i.e. without <html> nor <body> tags) of the HTML fragment for 
the given item.

Note that without <html><body> and hence no <head> tags, there is no way 
to provide <meta> information to the renderer.

Since nothing is non-standard, why is there an error? And how can the 
configuration be changed?
