Default Russian Encoding Problem

Dear All:

I have the same problem to localize my pages into Russian and need some help on it.

http://balivillas.com/russian/index.html
Using both IE or Firefox, need to change the setting into Cyrillic (KOI8-R) to view them correctly.

http://balivillas.com/russian/howto.html
I already insert the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=KOI8-R"> - but still need to set character encoding manually to Cyrillic.


P.S:
There are two meta http-equiv, I hope this is OK(??):
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=KOI8-R">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<link href="../scripts/base.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Thanks alot,

--Mike

first of all i do advice you to use win-1251 codepage instead of KOI8-R
win-1251 charset is used by default while browsing russian pages and it is most popular
so you won't need to change your charset manually in browser each time.

secondly, I think it would be nice to fix grammatical mistakes your page has

Also replace your <html> tag with this one <html lang="ru">
