ie6 options that prevent proper display?

At the LMS-website of our customer a bug was discovered :
double quotes in a text lead to showing %22 at the webpage
The code-base are .saba files, a kind of asp/jsp-files ( a mixture of Java and html)
I solved it by using the function
replace(s, "\"", """); where s is the text-string.

At least I thought it was solved. My co-workers and me couldn't see the %22 text anymore (in FF and IE6), but the customer still can on all machines and all accounts they use!

At first we thought it was a caching issue but that doesn't seem to be the case.
The customer is using a Dutch version of IE6, we're using the English version
Is there any option/switch within IE6 that might cause this difference in behavoir?
Or does anyone have an even better solution to the issue then the one I used?
Changing to another browser-version or code-base is certainly no option here.

What happens if you change " to "?
HTML Codes - Characters and symbols

If that doesn't work, then you'll have to figure out how to make a compromise between the English character set you are using and the Dutch one. UTF-8 is supposed to be universal but IE6 won't support it so that's not an option.

is that "questionmark you wanted me to try or did something got lost when posting the reply?

It got lost in the translation to a post.

Code:

& # 34 ;

(squish all those together, it keeps converting the symbols to quote mark.)
