Hi All. I’m developing an app that use a ms-sql backend that is in iso-8851-9 charset and so I configured accordingly my Application->charset and html pages’ headers.
Normal page request works correctly and all is displayed correctly, but if I refresh a grid through ajax (by sorting or paging it) the dreaded black boxes come out. This means that the charset has been automatically "upgraded" to utf-8.
I suppose this is to blame on Jquery ajax functions, but how can I fix it without removing ajax functionality?
Thanks, you helped me confirming what I suspected. However, my problem is not server side - the request gets easily processed even if it’s in UTF-8, it’s the response that must be displayed accordingly to the right charset. I will experiment with jquery ajax options to see if I can force it.
I already had a meta header in my default layout but it’s not enough. Probably I could obtain the same effect with a server configuration, but that’s out of my reach so I’ll live with that.
