Pausing RSS Scroller

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ller/index.htm

German special chars are not displayed correctly in the scroller (e.g. as "A1/4" ).

UTF-8 should be used in the scroller.

in "lastRSS.php" there is a varable for the charset:
PHP Code:
var $default_cp = 'UTF-8'; 
but this NOT used anywhere else in this script or "scrollerbridge.php"

You can see the wrong characters on ssu-solarstrom-ulm.de in the scroller (right column).

Please help.
