Hello Folks,
we recently stumbled accross an issue with character encoding inside our
cforms/ajax (cocoon 2.1.10 AND cocoon 2.2) forms with firefox 3. As
advised in different sources we have correctly set the bindEncoding
property of the djConfig global variable to 'utf-8' at the very beginning
of our html/template code.
however we are not able to submit special characters like 'üöäßß'
correctly to the server. With older firefox versions we did not have the
problems, also internet explorer works perfectly (IE6, IE7, IE8Beta...)
Our code inside our custom cforms-styling stylesheet:
<script>djConfig = { bindEncoding: "utf-8" };</script>
I suspect this is a problem with the older dojo versions together with
Firefox 3, can anyone confirm this?
An interesting finding we made is, that by setting dojo property
'parseWidgets' to false, you can actually fix the character enconding
problem. however then the ajax feature of cforms does not work
anylonger.... So it looks like that it has something to do with dojo's
widget functionality which is incompatible with firefox3 in terms of
character enconding.
Thanx for your advise in advance,
Gabriel
