Hi Scott, Looks like I'll have to do string manipulation alright. I have managed to do this now for the Euro symbol, but I guess my concern was this could keep raising its head as there could be numerous other characters that cause problems with the different encodings also.
What I basically do is create a new XML document instance, and this is used to store a page that will eventually be rendered to the user. The XML document will have a SCRIPT element, BODY element etc. Part of the BODY element is read from another XML file (containing Euro symbols and maybe more) and once all the results are built up into the document instance, I create the HTML page using <@ELEMENTVALUE> tags. The advantage of this is I also use the HTTPRequest object to retrieve the same pages, and I can return this same XML document instead of having different ways of processing the page depending if its an initial request or successive requests. Not sure if that makes any sense to you, but hopefully some! Mike. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Cadillac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 September 2005 15:24 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: support for @DOM encoding Hi Mike, > I guess the issue for me is I > don't have control over the XML source Okay, that's helpful. > and when I heard u > mention that Witango supported utf-8 then it sounded like > what I was after to get out of this problem. Well, from the sounds of things you might be reduced to doing some string manipulation prior to your <@DOM> assignment. Obviously this could be a real pain if your data is large. > Have u any more > details on this? My data is already enclosed within the cdata > section, so unfortunately this won't work. Sorry I don't have more information on this, but I haven't been doing any active Witango coding for awhile. What do you have do with this XML, once you get it? Maybe we should look at the problem from the other end. ~ Scott Cadillac ~ 403-254-5002 ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ Custom Software for Business http://custom.softwarefor.net ~ The XML-Extranet Partnership ~ P.O.
