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

Tue, 08 Mar 2005 15:12:16 -0800

This is how I had to do it:

 

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

 

becomes

 

aucun crit\350re de recherche n\'a \351t\351 indiqu\351

 

Is it me or is this a flaw 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
