European accented characters are corrupted if the string is fetched from a server-generated javascript and rendered using document.write(). But if the string is defined locally on the page, it comes out OK. Example:
<HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- // Locally defined string var phrase1 = "El mercado est� abierto cada mi�rcoles."; // --> </SCRIPT> <!-- String fetched from server --> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://mydomain.com.au/esdata.cfm";></SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- document.write(phrase1); document.write("<BR>"); document.write(phrase2); // --> </SCRIPT> </BODY> </HTML> The server-side script esdata.cfm contains the following: <CFOUTPUT> var phrase2 = "El mercado est� abierto cada mi�rcoles."; </CFOUTPUT> The above page renders as: El mercado est� abierto cada mi�rcoles. El mercado está abierto cada miércoles. (Yuk!) I can write a javascript function to convert back client side, but is there a simpler solution I'm missing? I'm sure within the cosmopolitan community on this list there must be some globalization gurus. Regards: Ayudh +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | SOAP is the glue!
