[jQuery] Foreign charachters in .post()

[youradds]

Hi,

Got a bit of a weird one here :/

The following code works fine:

              jQuery.post("/cgi-bin/review.cgi", {
                Review_Rating: the_rating,
                        ID:  theID,
                        add_this_review: 1,
                        Review_Contents: contents,
                        Review_Subject: subject,
                        Review_ByLine: byline,
                        Review_GuestName: guestname,
                        Review_GuestEmail: guestemail,
                        add_review: 1,
                        SecurityImage: SecurityImage,
                        SessionID:     SessionID
              }, function(response){

                jQuery('#ajax_rate_indicator').fadeOut();
                setTimeout("finishAjaxReview('the_rating_box', '"+escape
(response)+"')", 400);
              });

...*appart* from the fact stuff like:

ö =
ä =
ü =

..gets converted to:

ö =
ä =
ü =

I did a little bit of research, and found something about adding this
(but this seems to really be for a different jQuery function - which
is probably why its not working);

                        contentType: "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded;charset=ISO-8859-15",

Can anyone suggest how I could fix this issue with foreign
charachters?

TIA
