Hi All,
I'm still testing my ajax stuff and I ran into this problem. My main
component has the following inside the <head>...</head> tags:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I also have eclipse preferences General > Workspace > Text file
encoding set to UTF-8. My Main.woo is as follows:
{
"WebObjects Release" = "WebObjects 5.0";
encoding = NSUTF8StringEncoding;
}
Then my application object overrides createRequest() to tell the
request as soon as possible that our form values are encoded in UTF8 :
public WORequest createRequest(....) {
WORequest request = super.createRequest(...);
request.setDefaultFormValueEncoding("UTF8");
return request;
}
The application appendToResponse also does UTF8 for the content
encoding before generating the response:
public void appendToResponse(WOResponse response, WOContext context) {
response.setContentEncoding("UTF8");
super.appendToResponse(response, context);
}
I can type in accentuated characters into the html file and the page
displays in the browser fine.
Also, in the text fields inside a form, I can type in these
characters, submit by clicking the submit button and the application
receives the characters and redisplays the page. Everything displays
correctly.
The problem comes in when I submit the values using AJAX. Again the
application receives the characters correctly. I check by printing
the values to the console. Then the application generates an ajax
response. I make sure to response.setContentEncoding("UTF8") for my
ajax response. The response contains html. It's just an html
fragment so it doesn't have a <meta ...> tag in there.
On firefox the response displays correctly. However, on Safari my ñ
character turns into ñ
Then my é character turns into é
Any ideas why my ajax response doesn't display correctly in Safari?
Any ideas what I may be missing?
Thanks,
Ricardo
