Re: Spanish accents in Javascript

[Enrique Medina]

Hi again,

I've been investigating this issue and the problem is here:

HtmlResponseWriterImpl:
===================
UnicodeEncoder.encode(strValue, false, false)

All write methods use this call to the UnicodeEncoder, so the returned string always contains the &#243 or whatever.

Maybe the ConvertEncoding class in this article from OnJava.com would be useful:

If not, it might at least give you an idea how to fix your issue.

Hi Matt,

Yes, the same thing occurs...

What does it do now?  The same thing as before?

I have tried to define my properties file (resource bundle) using Unicode encodings:

combiVariables_ValidacionOK = La f\u00F3rmula es correcta
combiVariables_ValidacionNotOK = La f\u00F3rmula no es correcta

But it still doesn't work :-(

Thanks. Let me try it ;-)

I understand that.  I'm suggesting that, instead of "La fórmula es correcta" in your properties file, you put "La f\u00f3rmula es correcta."

Hi Matt,

But the problem is that encoding is generated by JSF when using EL like this:

#{messages.literal1}

2005/8/24, Matt Blum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

You need to use the Unicode encoding for the character, like so:

"La f\u00f3rmula es correcta"

There's a handy online tool to find the codes for most special characters here:

Hi,

I know this is not a question directly related with MyFaces, but does anybody knows how to solve this problem?

I define my literal strings in a properties file, and then I have created a custom messages tag that renders the message as an alert of _javascript_. So when a JSF message is generated, it is rendered as an alert. My problem is with accents. For example, in the alert window the text appears like:

"La f&#243;rmula es correcta"

while it should be:

"La fórmula es correcta"

Is it a matter of escaping the text in _javascript_? Because I have tried the escape() function but with no success...
