Sascha Rodekamp commented on OFBIZ-4915:
----------------------------------------
Hi Taher,
when sending data to the server I used the jQuery serialize() function to read
the input parameter form the form. The serialize function uses standard URL
encoding. Could this be a problem.
you can find the code in the function lookupFormAjaxRequest().
Have a good day

> 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
