Thank you Jason for your response i did what you suggested the search added the acent and special character but the rest of the site broke the special characters so i had to change the collition in the database and on every single page, the good point it is under test so the end user of the site has not added any content yet but now everything is under utf-8, any users that still use old versions of mozilla or IE like IE6 or 5 will get javascript errors on dependant drop down list but on this site i dont have any dependant drop down box dont work with utf-8 on old version browsers new version dont have that problem.
