problem with IE & AJAX

[scialom]

Hi all,

IE has done it again. It drives me crazy.
I have a simple code that takes the value of a field and sends it to php page

function update_field(field_name,job_id);
var field_value = document.getElementById(field_name).value;
var Str = "update_field.php?job_id="+job_id+"&field_name="+field_name+"&field_value="+field_value

var oXmlHttp = zXmlHttp.createRequest();
oXmlHttp.open("get", Str , true);
oXmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function () {

        if (oXmlHttp.readyState == 4) {
		if (oXmlHttp.status == 200) {
                       view(oXmlHttp.responseText);
		} else {
                       view("An error occurred: " + oXmlHttp.statusText); 
                }
         }
 	} ;
	oXmlHttp.send(null);

the php is simple update mysql statement.

It works fine both on Firefox and IE with English. But when I am using Hebrew I get ???? any ideas why?

thanks!

do you mean, the return (responseText) is "????" ?

maybe it's the encoding ...

try this in your php:

echo htmlentities($yourText);

yes this is what I meant but htmlentities didn't help

[gavshouse]

try this js encoding
