  1. POAnother JQuery encoding problem, on IE
    text
    copied!<p>I'm coding an italian website where I need to validate some input data with an xhr call. My code for the ajax request's like this (I'm using JQuery 1.3.2):</p> <pre><code> $.ajaxSetup({ type: "POST", timeout: 10000, contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=iso-8859-1" }); $.ajax({ url: "ajaxvalidate.do", data: {field:controlInfo.field,value:controlInfo.fieldValue}, dataType: "json", complete: function() { // }, success: function(msg) { handleAsyncMsg(controlInfo, msg, closureOnError); }, error: function(xhr, status, e) { showException(controlInfo.id, status); } }); </code></pre> <p>On the backend I have a java struts action to handle the xhr. I need to use the encoding ISO-8859-1 in the page to ensure the data (specially accented characters) are sent correctly in the synchronous submit.</p> <p>All's working like a charm in Firefox but when I have to handle an async post from IE 7 with accented characters I have a problem: I always receive invalid characters (utf-8 maybe?). EG I type in the form àààààààà and I get in my request this value: à à à à à à à Ã. Since the request charset's correctly set to ISO-8859-1 I can't understand why the server's still not parsing the form value correctly.</p> <p>This is a log sample with all the request headers and the error (the server's an old Bea Weblogic 8.1):</p> <pre><code>Encoding: ISO-8859-1 Header: x-requested-with - Value: XMLHttpRequest Header: Accept-Language - Value: it Header: Referer - Value: https://10.172.14.36:7002/reg-docroot/conv/starttim.do Header: Accept - Value: application/json, text/javascript Header: Content-Type - Value: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=iso-8859-1 Header: UA-CPU - Value: x86 Header: Accept-Encoding - Value: gzip, deflate Header: User-Agent - Value: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729) Header: Host - Value: 10.172.14.36:7002 Header: Content-Length - Value: 65 Header: Connection - Value: Keep-Alive Header: Cache-Control - Value: no-cache Header: Cookie - Value: JSESSIONID=JQJlNpVC86yTZJbcpt54wzt82TnkYmWYC5VLL2snt5Z8GTsQ1pLQ!1967684811 Attribute: javax.net.ssl.cipher_suite - Value: SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 Attribute: javax.servlet.request.key-size - Value: 128 Attribute: javax.servlet.request.cipher_suite - Value: TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 Attribute: javax.servlet.request.key_size - Value: 128 Attribute: weblogic.servlet.network_channel.port - Value: 7001 Attribute: weblogic.servlet.network_channel.sslport - Value: 7002 Attribute: org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE - Value: org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources@4a97dbd Attribute: org.apache.struts.globals.ORIGINAL_URI_KEY - Value: /conv/ajaxvalidate.do Attribute: errors - Value: org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources@4a97e4d Attribute: org.apache.struts.action.MODULE - Value: org.apache.struts.config.impl.ModuleConfigImpl@4aa2ff8 Attribute: weblogic.servlet.request.sslsession - Value: javax.net.ssl.impl.SSLSessionImpl@42157c5 field: nome - value: àààààààà - action: /endtim </code></pre>
