There is no such encoding as JIS; I think that must be a misnomer.
JIS is the Japanese standards body that has defined various character
sets. They may be encoded as Shift_JIS, EUC-JP or ISO 2022-JP, all of
which should appear in the browser menus.
(An explanation of the difference between character sets and encodings
can be found at <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr17/>. Needless to
say, in common usage they are not adequately distinguished.)
