Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Dell laptop battery recall

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 10:52:44 -0700

I checked my Dell and I was safe.  I did not want to turn out like the guy who burnt his lap.

I read an article from the "Register" about unfortunate burning events.   Lithium is not your friend when super heater.

I know John has a Dell laptop and I checked mine.

Figure I post this since several of us have Dell laptops.

 

Dell is doing a massive recall of laptop batteries. It's the largest recall in consumer electronics history. To see if your affected simply go to following site..

 

http://www.dellbatteryprogram.com

 

Apparently, it's a batch of batteries they received form Sony and made in Japan that are at issue. These batteries have been known to catch on fire without warning which is a quick way to lose a laptop.

Yeah, I tried that one first but it didn't work...I'm guessing the way the data was stored in unicode wasn't compatible with the utf 8.  When I googled the invalid character reference, Microsoft actually suggests (it was the first link by the way) to use the iso 8859.  The web is a never-ending learning process!

 

Thanks John,

Yep, actually UTF-8 is the way to go here. The group that supported the older 8859-1 (Latin-1) group has move on. The UTF standards are the newer and more accepted encoding standard.

why not use utf-8? guess it depends on your input forms

Quick update - just in case anyone else ever runs into this problem.  Again, just to restate quickly - say you have a German name with the double dots over the "u" or you have a spanish name with the ~ over the "n" or something like that, it was breaking my xml.  To fix it I just needed to put this declaration at the top of the xml document:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

Subject: XML Formatting in CF5 question

Hello everyone,

 

I've got an aggravating situation.  We're using CF5 and I'm doing some AJAX interfaces.  My problem is, we have international users that have unicode characters such as o acutes and various other flavors of invalid xml characters...Do any of you know of a way either in XML or in CF5 to escape the characters that will cause the XML to be invalid? 

 

Also, so you know, the values that are causing problems are attributes and not text values in-between the tags...for instance:

 

<person fName="invalidCharacterShowsUpHere" />

 

CDATA won't solve my problem and I'm running out of ideas.

 

Any help would be awesome!

 

Thanks,

 

Allen
