As manually changing the encoding in the browser shows the Hindi correctly, you are obviously sending the correct data, so that's not the problem. When the browser attempts to identify the character set of the document, it looks first for a Content-Type HTTP header, and only if that isn't found does it look for a meta element specifying the character set - see [1]. I don't know Struts, but a look at the JSP documentation suggests that you should be using pageEncoding instead of encoding in your @page directive. [2] I don't know if this affects the Content-Type header, or just creates a meta element, though. If changing that doesn't work, then I would suggest looking at the raw HTTP headers for your page, to see if the Content-Type header is correctly specifying UTF-8. If you use Firefox, there are various ways to do this via extensions such as Firebug, although going to Tools menu-Page Info may tell you what you need to know. Assuming you're using Microsoft Windows, a free application called Fiddler, written by a chap at Microsoft, will allow you to examine the raw HTTP traffic between your browser and your server [3]. If it turns out that the Content-Type header in the HTTP response is overriding any Meta element in the document, then you need to change your server configuration; at that point, my lack of knowledge of your configuration leaves me unable to help any further :-( [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.2.2 [2] http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/ syntaxref1210.html#15653 [3] http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/ HTH, Nick. -- Nick Fitzsimons http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
[WSG] Internationalization for hindi (data getting corrupted while sendng from jsp to action)
Hi All. I am trying to implement internationalization for my site. But when I am trying to enter some Hindi text in a text box (struts html:text) the value I m getting in my action is not expected one. Getting some corrupted value rather than Hindi entered text. I have set charset to utf-8 in the jsp page. Do I need to do any thing more?

Does your Hindi text unicode? Changing the charset to utf-8 directly from the header isn't good enough, you need the document to be utf-8 encoding. In Dreamwever and BBedit, I can change that from Preferences or 'properity'. And the Urdu/Hindi font needs to be Unicode font. If you use PC, Vista maybe come with Unicode fonts but I am not sure about XP though. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

You need to declare both the encoding of the actual JSP file and the encoding served to browsers. Unfortunately, JSP defaults to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, but it's relatively easy to handle using the @page directive at the top of every JSP file. [EMAIL PROTECTED] encoding=UTF-8 contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8% The encoding attribute specifies the actual encoding of the file (you need to ensure your editor is actually saving in UTF-8). The contentType attribute specifies the HTTP Content-Type header to be sent to UAs. If the 2 declared encodings differ, then JSP will transcode it before sending. Ideally, there should be a way to set these as defaults in web.xml for the application server, but I've never successfully found a way to do it. You should then verify that the document received by browses is actually encoded in UTF-8. If you've done the above correctly, it will be, but check anyway. Browsers will submit form data in the same encoding as the page. So unless the user explicitly changes it from UTF-8, then it will be UTF-8. Finally, you need to make sure your form processing on the server side is actually accepting and interpreting the form submission as UTF-8. It should do so if you added the @page directive correctly. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
