Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-4915:
----------------------------------------
OK, I think I tracked it to its source which is causing this whole headache:
Basically, $OFBIZ_HOME/framework/widget/templates/HtmlFormMacroLibrary.ftl is
calling the script $OFBIZ_HOME//framework/images/webapp/images/fieldlookup.js
More specifically, the template is instantiating a new object using the
following code snippet:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
new ConstructLookup("${fieldFormName}", "${id}",
document.${formName?html}.${name?html}, <#if
descriptionFieldName?has_content>document.${formName?html}.${descriptionFieldName}<#else>null</#if>,
"${formName?html}", "${width}", "${height}", "${position}",
"${fadeBackground}", <#if ajaxEnabled?has_content && ajaxEnabled>"${ajaxUrl}",
${showDescription}<#else>"", false</#if>, "${presentation!}",
"${defaultMinLength!2}", "${defaultDelay!300}"
I think I need to add [ contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
charset=UTF-8" ] somewhere in this code to make it work

> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ALL COMPONENTS
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 11.04, Release Branch 12.04
> Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb
> Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: form, jQuery, javascript, lookup

>
> Any field in a form that uses the <lookup target-form-name="WhateverForm"/>
> would not return results when searching in Arabic. I suspect the main
> offender is javascript/jQuery when parsing user input.
> For example, if I go to https://localhost:8443/ordermgr/control/findorders
> and click on "Party ID", and search the firstname or lastname in arabic, no
> values are returned and the value in the search box changes from arabic to
> some weird encoding ( e.g. "حسن" becomes Øس٠)
> Also, after some investigation, I came to the realization that this only
> happens when the lookup field has presentation="layer", if however, the
> presentation="window" then it works normally which leads me to conclude
> definitely that this is javascript/jQuery issue of parsing input data. More
> specifically, this is javascript not processing with the correct encoding
> (unicode in this case). I know this because if I paste the unicode
> representation directly to the input box then it searches correctly
