Bug in IE with utf-8 and JavaScript

mce2000

Has anyone mentioned a strange bug in IE when working with pages in
utf-8? Synopsis is that after executing particular JavaScript code (not
any, but about any - for example, clicking a link with
href="javascrip t:void(0)" is a case) and scrolling window content
characters get messed... This happens without any CSS - text + A tag is
enough condition. Note that the text get messed not immidately after
clicking the link, but after scrolling or any other actions causing
repainting window - i.e. overlapping window by another one. Does anyone
know any workaround?
Sample HTML follows:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text <A href="javascrip t:void(0)">link </A> text text text text

Sorry, I left an important detail: font size in IE should be set to
"small" or any other non-default value

Never heard of such problem. Works just fine with IE 6.0 under Windows
98 SE and Windows XP SP1. It may be a problem with your video card.

Also if the posted code is indeed the one you are feeding to the
browser, I would expect some possible strange behavior (but not this
one) :-)

Skip on <body> if you really want to - but give to the poor man <html>
and <head> at least. :-)

how to test text to see if maybe it is UTF-8????

by: lawrence | last post by:

Someone on www.php.net suggested using a seems_utf8() method to test text for UTF-8 character encoding but didn't specify how to write such a method. Can anyone suggest a test that might work? Something that maybe gives 90% confidence that a given block of text is or is not UTF-8 encoded?

Psycopg and queries with UTF-8 data

by: Alban Hertroys | last post by:

Another python/psycopg question, for which the solution is probably quite simple; I just don't know where to look. I have a query that inserts data originating from an utf-8 encoded XML file. And guess what, it contains utf-8 encoded characters... Now my problem is that psycopg will only accept queries of type str, so how do I get my utf-8 encoded data into the DB? I can't do query.encode('ascii'), that would be similar to: >>> x =...

Converting from UTF-16 to UTF-32

by: Jimmy Shaw | last post by:

Hi everybody, Is there any SIMPLE way to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-32? I may be mixed up, but is it possible that all UTF-16 "code points" that are 16 bits long appear just the same in UTF-32, but with zero padding and hence no real conversion is necessary? If I am completely wrong and some intricate conversion operation needs to take place, can anyone give me some primer on the subject?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
