Re: Multipage CForm using Ajax - Non ascii Characters

[Peter Sparkes]

Hi Robby,

Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I don't have any client side scripting. I am using CForms to allow the site 
owner to populate a database. The data is then used in a number of different xhtml pages.

Kind regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

No…    encodeURIComponent should go in the client javascript.

And in flowscript you have to decode the parameter value again.

importClass(Packages.java.net.URLDecoder);

var decodedvalue = URLDecoder.decode(cocoon.request.getParameter(“someparam”);

Kind regards,

Robby

Thanks Greg and Robby for your replies.

Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I assume encodeURIComponent goes into the 
flowscript:

function multipage() {
var lodgeId = cocoon.parameters.lodgeId;
cocoon.request.setAttribute("lodgeId", lodgeId);

var documentURI = cocoon.parameters["documentURI"];
// parse the document to a DOM-tree
var document = loadDocument(documentURI);

//document = decodeURIComponent (document);

// get the documentURI parameter from the sitemap which contains the location of the form 
definition (model)
var definitionURI = cocoon.parameters["definitionURI"];

//create new form
var form = new Form(definitionURI);

// get the documentURI parameter from the sitemap which contains the location 
of the binding file
var bindingURI = cocoon.parameters["bindingURI"];
form.createBinding(bindingURI);

// bind the document data to the form
form.load(document);

// show the form to the user until it is validated successfully
form.showForm("lodgemul-display-pipeline.jx");

// bind the form's data back to the document

form.save(document);

// save the DOM-tree back to an XML file,
document = encodeURIComponent(document);
saveDocument(document, documentURI);

// show the xml generated from the form
var success ='/B&B/England/Devon/Bideford/'+ lodgeId+'.html';
//cocoon.redirectTo('/office/' + lodgeno+'.htm');
cocoon.sendPage(success);
}

document = encodeURIComponent(document); produces the following error when I 
submit the completed form

    Can't find method org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.DOMStreamer.stream(string).

What am I doing wrong

    Ajax calls use default character encoding defined by HTTP 1.1 spec (which 
iso-8859-1, not
    UTF-8). You have to encode BEFORE sending and decode AFTER retrieving those 
strings.

    Encode with encodeURIComponent, decode with decodeURIComponent (if 
Javascript).

    You will probably need to encode the characters if you make an ajax call…

            var  somevalue = encodeURIComponent(“this is a value to be 
encoded”);

    Hi

    Cocoon 2.11

    I have implemented a multipage CForm which uses Ajax. The form is based on 
the example at

    
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/cocoon21/samples/blocks/forms/do-multipage.flow

    The  form works fine except that it does not save non ascii characters 
correctly eg.

    É €  ç  £



    If I use one very long form without Ajax the above characters are correctly 
saved

    Help please, How can I fix this problem
