Hi,
I'd like to display some language specific characters from javascript but I can't.
My app is a Java webapp and the front end is jQuery. All the characters that are sended from the server - in a JSP or with AJAX - are displayed properly. When I want to display some text hardcoded in to the javascript file it's broken.
I'm using
Eclipse. In the JSP's header I use:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
I've tried this (charset in the script element) too:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><c:import url="/JS/mainJS.js" /></script>
In my
Eclipse I've set the project properties / text file encoding to UTF-8 AND I've checked the JS files' resource properties / text file encoding that is UTF-8 too.
But when I try this:
$.test = function(){
var s = "éééáááuuuu";
alert(s);
}
I get:
éééáááűűűű
The strange thing is that: When I try in a separate html file (in the same project), It's working:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
body {background: #c0c0c0;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var s = "éááuuúúú";
$("#console").text(s);
alert(s);
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="console"></div>
</body>
</html>
Even if I DO NOT use any content type and page encoding settings.
What is the problem? What shall I do? (I'm using Apache Tomcat integrated in Eclipse)
Thanks in advance!
