Hi,
We had
the same problem here, when trying to inject special french characters in a
_javascript_ string (simple client validation on a JSF component). The _javascript_
string received a unicode translated value (é in our case),
breaking the _javascript_ code.
onfocus
="checkDefaultValue(this, '#{labels.menu_incident_number}');"The
reason why this breaks is hard to identify, I tested as well with simple alerts
on a plain HTML page and couldn't see this happen.
We
found a simple solution that works for us, replacing the simple
quotes by escaped double quotes:
onfocus
="checkDefaultValue(this, \"#{labels.menu_incident_number}\");"Surprisingly enough, the &#xxx; characters work fine when surrounded
this way. I can offer no real explanation about this behavior, but I hope this
might solve your problems.
Bye,
Arnaud

Objet : Re: unencode &# encodings in _javascript_
I face the same situation. The problem is that MyFaces encodes all HTML and all messages from the ResourceBundle, so the _javascript_ alert shows those annoying &nnn; characters....
2006/1/18, Werner Punz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:I do not know if there is a function but the \unnn notation works
definitely with alerts:

I am not sure but the #nnn notation might be unicode numbers so they might
be the same numbers as in the \unnn notation
