javascript pass Chinese characters fails

[bhomass]

I generated a javascript code which is called from the brwoser.

When I check inside the IDE, everything looks good

var LeftBarcoalHtml = new Ext.ux.Html({
width:60,
value: '??',
name: 'LeftBar_coal',
id: 'home_LeftBar_coal_id'
});

but when it arrived FF, the display becomes '? ?". I used Firebug to take a look at the javascript, it says

var LeftBarcoalHtml = new Ext.ux.Html({
width:60,
value: '? ?',
name: 'LeftBar_coal',
id: 'home_LeftBar_coal_id'
});

I tried playing with view -> character encoding -> Chinese Simplified (GB2312), but made no difference.

Is there something you need to declare to make the Chinese char show up in the browser properly?

Hi

did you add encoding your page's head section ;



<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=GB2312" />

hey, I found it.

I had to declare charset in the servlet response.

resp.setContentType("text/xml; charset=GBK");
