I am working on a web application, where I transfer data from the server to the browser in XML.
Since I'm danish, I quickly run into problems with the characters ???.
I know that in html, I use the "æøå" for ???.
however, as soon as the chars pass through JavaScript, I get black boxes with "?" in them when using ???, and "æøå" is printed as is.
I've made sure to set it to utf-8, but that isn't helping much.
Ideally, I want it to work with any special characters (naturally).
The example that isn't working is included below:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
alert("æøå");
alert("???");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
What am I doing wrong?
Ok, thanks to Grapefrukts answer, I got it working.
I actually needed it for data coming from an MySQL server. Since the saving of the files in UTF-8 encoding only solves the problem for static content, I figure I'd include the solution for strings from a MySQL server, pulled out using PHP:
utf8_encode($MyStringHere)
