I'm not sure what you mean. Parsing is the process that turns a stream
of characters into a DOM tree. You don't parse the DOM tree.
All data in the DOM in Mozilla is stored either in UTF16, UTF8, or ASCII
(depending on the exact piece of data).
All data in JavaScript is in UCS-2.
So what are you doing exactly, to get something in a different encoding
than one of those? ;)
Sounds like XMLHttpRequest to me, which does some *really* dodgy
character encoding stuff.
Emile, if you are using XMLHttpRequest, and you absolutely know the
character encoding the data is in (and its MIME type!), you can do this
just after calling open():
request.overrideMimeType("mime/type; charset=utf-8");
(assuming the data is in UTF-8 - use whatever charset is appropriate)
Of course, the *best* way to fix it is to make the server send the
character encoding with the content...
