AJAX and non-latin characters

Not really sure where you are entering this code as web wiz forums has now where to enter this type of code in this format.

If you want to change the page encoding then you need to edit in notepad the file includes/setup_options_inc.asp and change the encoding near the bottom of the file.

When you change the encoding all previous data would have been saved under the old encoding so mnay not display correctly unless it is re-saved under the new encoding.

Found the solution ....

You need to HTMLencode the text response. In other words, ajax_email_notify.asp should read

Response.Write("<a href=""email_notify.asp?TID=" & lngTopicID & "&PN=" & lngTotalRecordsPages & strQsSID2 & """><div>" & Server.HTMLEncode(strTxtWatchThisTopic) & "</div></a>")

The bold stuff must be added in all for cases of response, same with the calendar. But just the text, not the HTML tags. In the calendar's case, it is a tiny bit more difficult because the actual subs are in the functions_calendar.asp file. Since the displaymonth sub is called from ajax and non-ajax files, the response should be encoded in the first case but not in the second.

So, you either need a separate function (ajax_displaymonth) or add a boolean parameter to check if you need to encode or not.

You may want to include this in a future version to help users using non-latin alphabets.
