Hello everyone. I have a problem with ajax. When I try to display
a cyrillic HTML page in a DIV in another HTML page through AJAX, I see
it as question marks.
Does anyone know what I must do to get it right?

I assume you can see the cyrillics in your browser normally? If so, that suggests it's not a font problem, so my guess is that somewhere along the line the string containing the cyrillics is being "downgraded" to just an ASCII string rather than a unicode one. Figuring out where that happens should give you a clue. What technology are you using on the server side? Can you set a breakpoint in the code that delivers the cyrillic HTML page and see what the string looks like there?

Uh, that was supposed to be the cyrillics for privyet, but looks like our unicode support here at PH is screwed up too. Dammit. Well, at least you're not alone...

Hmm ... see what I mean? :)
Well, I really tried to put break lines in some key places in the code,
but the break lines go fine till the text reaches our container - the DIV.
The code goes like this:
We have an HTML page with the DIV element, that is supposed to contain the
sub-page. In the main page, we have the JavaScript code, that calls
the XMLHttp Request to HTML page, returns it in .responseText and displays
it in the DIV then. When the sub-page is displayed in the DIV, it goes
"???? ...".

I had the same problem and I resolved it by using the php function htmlentities(): htmlentities('cyrillic_string',ENT_NOQUOTES,'cp1251');
