thank you, will try to digest this. :-)

At least I got the stack working as I need it!

I used BBEdit with encoding set to UTF-8 for the "skeletal structure"
of the HTML file, HEADER and a little inline CSS.

Which shows exactly the same (with umlauts and stuff) as simply:
put the htmltext of widget "Browser"

Well you have a much deeper knowledge about all this stuff than I will ever have
and I hardly understand what you are trying to tell me with these last two 
sentences. :-D

Thanks for you help, very appreciated!

Hi Klaus,

this is dangerous because the code could have "mixed" encodings
if you (or your partner) edits the code in texteditors with
different encoding settings.

I looked again carefully into your first post.
You use the htmltext of the widget, so your original code is correct.
It works here as you would like.

So delete the file test.html and write it new by LC using 
put textencode(the htmltext of widget "browser","UTF8") \
  into url("file:" & specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/test.html")
  
Possibly there was some problem when you self-created the file.
I set the default encoding in BBEdit to UTF-8.

Also LiveCode uses a BOM. If there is no UTF-8 BOM it uses
Mac OS Roman. That is what you see when you type into msg
put textEncode(the htmltext of widget "Browser", "UTF-8").

If you use later on text from the DOM structure of your HTML,
have to decode before using in LC/writing to a file.
handlers.

I use this always together with base64Encoding (because javascript
handlers need ONE line of code in quotes).

Hi all,

I don't really understand this, but this finally does the job:
...
put "" after tText
## NO encoding before setting the htmltext!?
set the htmltext of widget "source" to tText

put textencode(tText,"UTF-8") into tNewText
put tNewText into url("file:" & Kommunikations_ordner() & "kommunikation.html")
...
Now loading that file again into the widget looks as exspected, ph! :-)

mhhh, when I have this in fld 1:

And do
...
put textDecode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)

The resulting file looks like:

Das geht Dich gar nichts an! :-D

Joke aside, the file gets saved in my Dropbox and I share it
with another user of LC!

Just saw it now, overlooked that first:

You script
put textencode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)

This should read
put textDecode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)

=

But why using files?
If you don't want to type directly in the browser widget
you can make it "mirroring" a text field.

Example for a primitve HTML editor:

1. Write into fld "HTML"

[[ht]]
(You can now hide fld "HTML").

2. Then make a field "Tippse" and script it:

on textchanged
  put the htmltext of me into ht
  replace "" with "" in ht
  replace "" with empty in ht
  set htmltext of widget "browser" to merge(fld "HTML")
end textchanged

on enterInField
  textchanged
end enterInField

Then you can do what your textfield allows
set textfont (bears some problems), textsize, styles etc.
and the widget will display it (well, approximately...)

[Another variant is to write directly into the DOM structure
of the current HTMLtext.]

yes, BBEdit shows "Unicode (UTF-8)" in the bottom bar.

encoding woes!?

2019-10-29 Thread Klaus major-k via use-livecode
Hi all,

macOS 10.14.6, LC 9.5

I have a file created with BBEdit with this content:
--


-


äÄüÜöÖßßß

---
Then I set the url of a browser widget to that file.
All fine so far...

Now I want to add some more text with umlauts to that file:
...
put the htmltext of widget "browser" into tText
## Looks exactly like the above in the debugger!

put "ööääüü" & CR before line -1 of tText
## Last line is the footer -> 
## And when I set the HTMLtext of widget "browser" to tText, all is fine, too
set the htmltext of widget "browser" to tText

## Then I do:
put textencode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url("file:" & specialfolderpath("desktop") & 
"/test.html")
...

When I now load that file into the widget:
...
set the url of widget "browser" to (specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/test.html")
...
Umlauts are gone like -> äÄüÜöÖßßß or worse

If I paste the same content (of tText copied from LC) in BBEdit and save the 
file it looks great
in the browser widget and Safari.

What am I missing or doing wrong?
Clueless... :-/

Thanks a lot in advance!
