    <p>I'm trying to set the href of an a element using jQuery. When I set an IDN in Firefox 6, the href is url encoded. One example is the IDN <a href="http://r%C3%A4ksm%C3%B6rg%C3%A5s.se">http://räksmörgås.se</a>, which is mangled to <a href="http://r%C3%A4ksm%C3%B6rg%C3%A5s.se">http://r%C3%A4ksm%C3%B6rg%C3%A5s.se</a>. When I do the same in other browsers (IE8, Chrome 13, Safari 5.1), the IDN isn't encoded.</p> <p>The reason I am trying to do this is that i am letting the user change hrefs and then upload a subset of the page content by ajax to a web server. I then have problems since the link is buried deep in a html string; and I'd prefer not to dig up all a elements in the html string.</p> <p>Is there any way to disable the encoding of hrefs when setting it in Firefox? Or do you have any other ways I might solve the problem?</p> <p>(I've noticed that if the href is a valid punycode IDN, i.e. <a href="http://www.xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o.se" rel="nofollow">http://www.xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o.se</a>, the browsers are fine and dandy. But I then have to do the punycode encoding in js, something which I prefer not to; there might be one or several bugs, and there doesn't seem to be a official release of an encoder/decoder.)</p> <p>The following html page displays my problem. If you input an international domain name (copy-paste "http://www.räksmörgås.se"), #linkHtml will get the entire a element, including the mangled href if using Firefox, and the correct href if using any other browser.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" &gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $("#linkText").focus(); $("#linkText").keyup(function() { var href = $(this).val(); $("#link").attr('href', href); $("#linkHtml").text($("#link").parent().html()); }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;input id="linkText" type=text /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a id="link" href="#"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span id="linkHtml"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COI've seen this with TLDs that are not whitelisted by Mozilla (although .se should be ok: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html) so maybe there is something bug-like involved?

    3. CO@WTK, are you checking the output in the span, or in Firebug? It seems as if Firebug decodes the url, so it's not possible to only check in firebug.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
