[jQuery] Using ASCII characters in textfield
I'm using an autocomplete function on a textfield but I'm having a problem since the autocomplete array is filled with German words so special characters (such as ü, ä and ö). I can insert the ASCII codes for these characters in the array and when the autocomplete display pulls down, the array elements are displayed correctly. However, when the user selects an option with a German character, the ASCII code of the element is displayed instead of the German character. For example, if the user selects Anlagenführer, the text field would be populated with Anlagenfuuml;hrer. Does anyone have any ideas of a workaround?
[jQuery] Re: Issue using a long array in jquery autocomplete
Hi, thanks for the reply. I can't post the page since the site is being developed locally. I figured out several things that may prove useful however. I tried using a group of the data to see if this was the problem. IE6 returned the same error: Unterminated String Contstant but I noticed that the line it had a problem with had a German character ( ü ) in it. An element before this in the list also had this character but threw up no problem. The word in which the character is used was (something)führer so I rename all elements with the word führer and replaced them with fuhrer. The smaller array now worked. I tried applying the same technique (as a stop gap) to the larger array but again IE6 was complaining about an unterminated string constant. I then removed all cases of the character ü and replaced them with u. Now IE has the error Expected ']' about halfway through the array. There is no syntax error around these lines - I've checked a few times. Is there a chance that these foreign characters are causing the errors within the script?

Its perfect for I need since it allows the data for the autocomplete to be loaded from a local array.

The array contains maybe 500+ elements of data but even if I put them on a single line in the code, the error still gets thrown up. Has anyone else ever had this problem? It's possible but not real likely that IE6 has a bug preventing it from handling that many elements. Without seeing the error nobody can say for sure. Having programmed for a long-long time, my instinct is to say more likely it's some sort of quoting or delimiting bug in the array definition. With that many elements it's hard to scan through them by eye unless you have laid them out in a very organized fashion. Our eyes and brain are good at finding changes in a pattern of orderly rows and columns, not at finding a missing comma or quote in pages of characters. So, I always line my arrays up vertically into columns as much as possible. (A programming editor like vim with the align module makes it really easy.) My next thought is I would use an Ajax query to reduce the array of 500 down to something a lot more manageable. You don't say how big each element is, but that many elements will slow page load and rendering making your user's browser bog down a bit. Do you have the offending page somewhere that others can see it so they can try to figure out what's wrong? Don't post the code here as it'll cause screams as people open up that many lines of code.

[jQuery] Re: How to center text (sweet mother of mary can it be this hard?)
Why not just define a css class with text-align: center and add this to whatever element you need centering? I'm presuming you want to center the preview text in the example so this should center it to your rounded corner div. If you want it centered vertically also, you may have to use some relative positioning. Hope that helps.

Hi,
I'm having a few problems getting my jQuery code to work in internet

written works fine in firefox, opera and safari.
The problem with IE is that it requires 2 clicks for the jQuery to
take effect (ie. user clicks the radio button, nothing happens, but
then they click another part of the screen and the changes take
effect). Also, when the jQuery IS invoked, the incorrect text fields
are enabled/disabled.
I tried a much simpler example to try to find the problem but
encounter similar issues. Here is the code for that:
/JQUERY/
$(document).ready(function() {
