hi guys,
based on users button press i am passing the following to my javascript
function, test('é'). and within my javascript i have this
function test(x) which processes this input.
now i am comparing this input using this, if ((x == "é")) {
alert ('eacute clicked') }, but i am unable to capture this for some
reason. everything else works. except special characters. btw i am
using english operating system.
has anybody else has had this problem, and can someone suggest a fix.
thanks. 7 7040 pe******@gmail.com wrote:

try to insert "alert(x)" before that "if" and you will see why
x=="é" is false
hi,
I have a similar problem .. I use spanish language and i need to use
both question marks (¿?) and when i put ¿ into an alert .. alert
('¿') it shows this one '?' so a question that should be like this
¿desea activar? is displayed like this ?desea activar? ... I tried
with ¿ but it doesn't work ..

How about showing us the relevant code, meaning the markup of the button
and its event handlers, the function.
I suspect you have e.g.
<input type="button" onclick="test('é')"
which means the HTML parser dereferences the entity reference é
to the character é.
Then your function is defined inside of a <script
type="text/javascript"element e.g.
function test (x) {
if (x == "é")
Inside of the script element the HTML parser does not dereference HTML
entity references thus the JavaScript string comparison is e.g.
'é' == 'é'
and those strings are obviously not the same.
So the solution is to compare e.g.
if (x == 'é')
at least as long as your calls to the function passing the argument with
HTML entity references are inside HTML event handler attributes like
onclick.

(wait loading ...)
You click a glyfe and you see on right pannels its different codes
specialy that 'hexa'
then to use this hexa in JS alerts, prompts ans so on :
\xYY where YY is hexa code of character
hexa table (not complete) :

hi,
I have a similar problem .. I use spanish language and i need to use
both question marks (¨?) and when i put ¨ into an alert .. alert
('¨') it shows this one '?' so a question that should be like this
¿desea activar? is displayed like this ?desea activar? ...
alert('¿desea activar?'); shows exactly that, in FF 1.5 and IE 6.0.
What browser are you using, that doesn't show what you want?

All depends what headers are sent ... (charset and all that )
and if charset of encoding it in accordance with this of text editor.
Probably depends too if there is a doctype on the page This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
