Re: Witango-Talk: French Text in Javascript in Tango

In _javascript_ you can also use the hex values of Unicode characters (16 bit, UTF-16), use \uEEEE format.
You _should_ be able to code <@FORMAT STR="my string with high ascii" ENCODING="_javascript_"> and it _should_ escape high ascii values for you, but I have not yet tried this.
so

alert(' aucun crit�re de recherche n\'a �t� indiqu� ');

 

becomes

 

alert('<@FORMAT STR=" aucun crit�re de recherche n'a �t� indiqu� " ENCODING="_javascript_">');
 
Note, I removed the escaping for the apostrophe as it will be done for you.

Hi all,

 

I found the answer. Must use �\xxx� when using characters with punctuation on top in Tango. The �xxx� is the octal code. In case anyone of you need it in the future, you might want to save this somewhere (not my page, found it on google):

Thanks,

Subject: Witango-Talk: French Text in _javascript_ in Tango

 

Hello,

 

Has anyone had experience with French text in _javascript_ in Tango?

 

For example, simple alert box:

 

alert(' aucun crit�re de recherche n\'a �t� indiqu� ');

 

Tango converts the characters with the accent punctuation into html codes e.g. &#232;, &#233;

 

I�ve tried unescape(), I�ve tried assigning string to a variable and displaying it with different encoding attributes.

 

A simple HTML page with the French text in _javascript_ will work though.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Richard
