Hi All,
This is possibly a trivial mistake ... but I never came across it before.
I recall a similiar problem a long time ago. I solved it by changing
some of the HTML serializer settings. The form encoding was fine in IE but crap in NS/Mozilla. Sorry, cannot really remember what is was :-/
I have a search form for searching Lucene. Mozilla confirms the page is in UTF-8 encoding.
I enter a string with accented characters into the query field. eg 'éclair' (e-acute).
The form comes back with the string now reading 'éclair'. (A-tilde, Copyright sign). Mozilla says the encoding is still UTF-8. (The value has been picked up by an InputModule and fed via the SiteMap to XSLT).
The query string in the URL reads 'query=%C3%A9clair', which are the unicodes for 'A-tilde' and 'Copyright' characters. (Which would imply to me that the Browser incorrectly encoded the query.)
How do other browsers behave?
This makes me feel like I have done something really dumb, but I cannot work out what ;)
Well, good luck :)
Any suggestions?
Have a beer and then come back - maybe you'll see it then ;)
cheers -- Torsten
