Because the <meta charset=...> element, in the absence of overriding 
information (HTTP headers or BOM) tells the browser how to interpret the 
bytes in an HTML document as characters. Apparently, your code generates 
an HTML document where "@" appears as iso-8859-1 encoded, so the browser 
needs to be instructed about the iso-8859-1 encoding.

JavaScript (or JScript) hasn't got much to do with this. The real issues 
are with the character encodings used in the database and in HTML 
documents generated. They should be the same encoding, or a controlled 
and correct code conversion should be performed.
