Re: [Tobago] How to display an euro with IE and ajax

[Bernd Bohmann]

Hello Helmut,

I found an error in tobago. I will send mail if the fix is available.
Thank for your input. I would like to see if the 1.0.10 is not a brown 
paper bag release :-)

Regards

Bernd

Hi Volker,

yes, we would be happy if we're not forced to develop our software
for this buggy thing, but our customer has hundreds of them :-(

To the problem: It's only the '€' and only with ajax. In tc:label,
there's no way to display an '€' with IE and Ajax.

Example IE with Ajax:
<tc:label value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "&euro &euro;".
<tc:out escape="false" value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "? €"

Example Firefox with Ajax:
<tc:label value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "€ &euro;".
<tc:out escape="false" value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "? €"

Example IE without Ajax:
<tc:label value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "€ &euro;".
<tc:out escape="false" value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "€ €"

Example Firefox without Ajax:
<tc:label value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "€ &euro;".
<tc:out escape="false" value="€ &euro;"/> is displayed as "€ €"

(All pages encoded in utf-8 <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>)

Please notice the missing semicolon after "&euro" in the result
of the first example.

I wonder why the character encoding is ok with normal page loading but 
not with Ajax loading. I'm not so firm with the technology behind 
Ajax to understand this. That's why I thought it's a Tobago problem.

Hi,

i think it's more an IE problem than a Tobago problem. Please request
a bugfix at microsoft ;-)

I don't understand how someone can decide to use this buggy thing, but
because this is the majority, i fear we need to provide a workaround
in tobago :-(.

How must the '€' be encoded (in HTML) to be displayed correct on IE?
Did other non US-ASCII values (öäüß...) work?

Hi,

I want to display an euro character (€) in a label that's on a
ajax reloaded panel. There's no problem with Firefox, but with IE(5.5/6.0)
I see the string "&euro" instead of the euro char. The label is
loaded from a resource bundle (in xml style). I tried to encode the
euro in the resource but that doesn't help.

Resource      -> IE
"€"           -> "&euro"
"&euro;"      -> ""
"&amp;euro;"  -> "&euro;"

I think Tobago still has some problems with the character encoding
in ajax reloaded components.

Helmut
