Title: Message

How are you invoking this value in your JSP?  Can you provide a snippet of relevant JSP and _javascript_ code?

Hi Matt,

But the problem is that encoding is generated by JSF when using EL like this:

#{messages.literal1}

2005/8/24, Matt Blum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

You need to use the Unicode encoding for the character, like so:

"La f\u00f3rmula es correcta"

There's a handy online tool to find the codes for most special characters here:

Hi,

I know this is not a question directly related with MyFaces, but does anybody knows how to solve this problem?

I define my literal strings in a properties file, and then I have created a custom messages tag that renders the message as an alert of _javascript_. So when a JSF message is generated, it is rendered as an alert. My problem is with accents. For example, in the alert window the text appears like:

"La f&#243;rmula es correcta"

while it should be:

"La fórmula es correcta"

Is it a matter of escaping the text in _javascript_? Because I have tried the escape() function but with no success...
