HTML Special Characters in Dynamically Populated DropDowns

I'm looking to see if anyone has experienced this...

I've got a dropdown that I'm populating dynamically and the items
include HTML special characters (like Ô). If I load them from an
existing JavaScript array I don't have any problems, but I'm generating
the arrays dynamically, then populating my dropdown dynamically with
the onload event.

I've tried setting multiple encodings in the meta tag with no success.

Please let me know if you have a solution.

Thanks,

Jeff

JavaScript operates with Unicode characters only and exclusively; it
doesn't matter what the page encoding is or what input is in form
elements: it "sees" it as Unicode.

So either type in Unicode characters directly or use Unicode escape
sequences \uXXXX

I have a database that has been populated with content pasted out of MS Word, and is full of special characters -- em dashes, curly quotes, curly apostrophes, etc. Now I'm generating plain text email summaries out of the database and of course those special chars appear as garbage chars in the emails. How can I filter the extracted text and transform these characters into plain text equivalents? Is there a builtin function for this,...

I need some advice on handling dynamically added controls in a GridView. My app takes an uploaded CSV file containing addresses, converts it to a DataTable, databinds the DataTable to a GridView, accepts information via dropdowns embedded in the first row of the GridView about which incoming fields should go to which database fields, and writes the data to the database. The incoming data has an arbitrary number of columns so I create...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
