Re: [Lift] UTF-8 Characters

2009-12-07 Thread David Pollak
Peter,

My understanding is that JavaScript strings must be ASCII or escaped to
Unicode: \u4455 (or whatever the unicode character is for degrees).

Thanks,

David

[Lift] UTF-8 Characters

2009-12-07 Thread Peter Robinett
Hi all,

I just discovered that XHTML pages do not support all the character
entity references HTML does[1]. In my case that means switching from
° to ° in my Javascript file. This is fine except that I am now
getting a garbled character. My file is encoded in UTF-8 and Maven is
using UTF-8[2], so I'm stumped about why it is happening. I could just
switch to an HTML doctype but I'm interested in understanding
everything that's happening here. Any suggestions?

Peter
