Oscar, I've put together an ajax call that passes iso8859-1 instead of utf-8. It's not pretty but shows that by doing your own serialize the server sees iso chars instead of utf. script type=text/javascript src=../js/jquery.js/script script type=text/javascript src=../plugins/debug/jquery.debug-pack.js /script script type=text/javascript $(function(){ $.ajax({ url: /test.cgi, processData: false, data: 'foo='+ escape('Jörn'), success: function(){console.log(arguments)} }) }); /script hope it helps you.
[jQuery] Re: jQuery core charset???????????(please help!!!!me!)
in the case where escape doesn't work for you, you would have to substitute a function that does what you want... I tried 1 letter ö.

[jQuery] Re: jQuery core charset???????????(please help!!!!me!)
Oscar, JavaScript provides native encoding capabilities for UTF-8 only. jQuery's ajax functionality merely uses the native encodeURIComponent method that JavaScript provides. If your server depends on processing 8859 then you need to do one of the following: 1. Do not use ajax for these pages. 2. Add support in the ASP page to convert UTF-8 into 8859. 3. Write your own JavaScript encoder to convert the data before sending it on the client. Setting headers on the client using beforeSubmit or beforeSend does not do anything to effect how the data is encoded. jQuery prepares ajax data in $.param and if you look at that method you will see that uses encodeURIComponent unconditionally. In my opinion, server pages that an not capable of processing or converting UTF-8 data are not good candidates for ajax targets.
