i never thought i would be bblocked by an encoding problem :-(
My database is in LATIN1 , i have entries like this in a table called gemeenten
    Column     |   Type   |                       Modifiers
---------------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------
 id            | integer  | serial....
 gemeente      | text     | not null
 postcode      | smallint | not null
 provincies_id | integer  |

This data is copied from a dump from that table

9780    Quévy   7040    7
9781    Quévy-le-Grand  7040    7
9782    Quévy-le-Petit  7040    7

So, the accents are there. But with my web page, which is set to ISO-8859-1, i don't get the accents.
The web-pages are build with XUL, where i set the charset to ISO-8859-1,
but communication with the server is through  XMLHttpRequest.
Do I have to specify the charset as well in the communication between server and client ? Or where else could it go wrong.
