[OpenLayers-Users] character encoding

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi,

If you use OpenLayers.loadURL(url, '', this, setHTML); like in the ol
example, then your request use Ajax. Therefor you need a proxy-script. In
this script you can change the special char to html entities.

With asp I use this function:
 
Response.Write server.HTMLEncode(objXmlHttp.responseText)

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] character encoding


hi,

I´ve still trouble with my special character encoding.

-The database is in Latin1 and in Win-1252 (both capable of special
caracters like ö,ä,ü,²,...) -the OL.php file is defined in the head sectoin
as Iso-8859-1 -the template.html specified in the mapfile is defined as
Iso-8859-1

when I call the GetFeatureInfo request in the browser it is displayed
correctly (also in qgis or gvsig), when i call it witin the OL application
no special character is displayed(only ? as symbols) not even the special
characters in "plain" text in the template file. (I have a table, in one row
i wrote some text like "länge" in the second row is the GetInfoRequest from
the database) Then it writes "l?nge" instead of "länge"

so i don´t think the database is responsible for that and not the template
file specified in Iso-8859-1!

is there a way to tell the mapserver to send the characters in Iso-8859-1 or
something in OL to define?
     Because either the mapserver send it wrong or it is displayed wrong by
OL.

Or can I somehow send the encoding with the getFeatureInfo request?
