Russian and javascript

Roger Withnell

I've built a site in English and an now translating it into Russian. My
html charset= utf-8 and my vbscript codepage is 65001. I'm using
DreamWeaver.

If there is a Javascript function in a page then I can cut and paste the
Russian in place of the English satisfactorily.

I have a page of common Javascript functions in an include file. When I cut
and paste Russian into this file, all I get is a string of ?????????????

Any help gratefully received.

You mean an external file with javascript scripts
called with <script src="myFunctions.js" ...
?

Encode your JS page in utf-8 !

In My tests that works fine.

Codepage 65001 is UTF-8. Microsoft still insists that encodings have
numbers instead of names.

I don't know what is codepage ... and don't use vbscript (Mac)
The OP use DW : what DW does with codepage by M$ numbers ?

Old style:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=koi8-r">
</head>
<body>
Russian characters go here
</body>
</html>

(The browser must have the koi8-r charset, which is not a problem
nowadays)

Windows style (not recommended):

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">
</head>
<body>
Russian characters go here
</body>
</html>

New style:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
Russian characters go here
</body>
</html>

Happy-that-it-works style:

<html>
<body>
области
(Russian characters represented as their HTML numeric entities)
</body>
</html>

I have a page of common Javascript functions in an include file. When I cut
and paste Russian into this file, all I get is a string of ?????????????

I'ld suggest to open the external js file in Notepad or the like, then
add the Russian characters, and then save as UTF-8 in stead of ANSI
(Notepad's default).

Hope this helps,

Make sure the script file is UTF-8 encoded and then use
<script type="text/javascript" src="file.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
to include the script file in the HTML document.

With a text editor that supports writing and saving text files that are
UTF-8 encoded.

As told by ether else :
- open your JS file in your text editor (NotePad+ or BBEdit)
- in BBE set the file in utf-8 and save it
- in NotePad+ I think you have to save it as ...
under format : utf-8

Close, it is in a menu that is labeled "Encoding".
