Hi Peter, No… encodeURIComponent should go in the client javascript. And in flowscript you have to decode the parameter value again.
importClass(Packages.java.net.URLDecoder); var decodedvalue = URLDecoder.decode(cocoon.request.getParameter(“someparam”); Kind regards, Robby From: Peter Sparkes [mailto:pe...@didm.co.uk] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 4:45 PM To: users@cocoon.apache.org Subject: Re: Multipage CForm using Ajax - Non ascii Characters Thanks Greg and Robby for your replies. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I assume encodeURIComponent goes into the flowscript: function multipage() { var lodgeId = cocoon.parameters.lodgeId; cocoon.request.setAttribute("lodgeId", lodgeId); var documentURI = cocoon.parameters["documentURI"]; // parse the document to a DOM-tree var document = loadDocument(documentURI); //document = decodeURIComponent (document); // get the documentURI parameter from the sitemap which contains the location of the form definition (model) var definitionURI = cocoon.parameters["definitionURI"]; //create new form var form = new Form(definitionURI); // get the documentURI parameter from the sitemap which contains the location of the binding file var bindingURI = cocoon.parameters["bindingURI"]; form.createBinding(bindingURI); // bind the document data to the form form.load(document); // show the form to the user until it is validated successfully form.showForm("lodgemul-display-pipeline.jx"); // bind the form's data back to the document form.save(document); // save the DOM-tree back to an XML file, document = encodeURIComponent(document); saveDocument(document, documentURI); // show the xml generated from the form var success ='/B&B/England/Devon/Bideford/'+ lodgeId+'.html'; //cocoon.redirectTo('/office/' + lodgeno+'.htm'); cocoon.sendPage(success); } document = encodeURIComponent(document); produces the following error when I submit the completed form Can't find method org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.DOMStreamer.stream(string). What am I doing wrong Peter On 14/01/2013 14:27, gelo1234 wrote: Ajax calls use default character encoding defined by HTTP 1.1 spec (which iso-8859-1, not UTF-8). You have to encode BEFORE sending and decode AFTER retrieving those strings. Encode with encodeURIComponent, decode with decodeURIComponent (if Javascript).

The form is based on the example at http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/cocoon21/samples/blocks/forms/do-multipage.flow The form works fine except that it does not save non ascii characters correctly eg. É € ç £ If I use one very long form without Ajax the above characters are correctly saved Help please, How can I fix this problem Peter
