JQuery and foreign letters

JQuery and foreign letters

Hi, I got a problem with displaying Scandinavian letters like ä, ö. My script tags are as following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.2.3.pack.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" charset=ISO-8859-1>


So encoding should be set to ISO-8859-1 and the letters should be shown correctly but that's not happening. All the letters that are generated by html/PHP work fine instead.

Thanks in advance.
