special characters

Hi,

Special characters like

allan

Hi Jaap,

If you look at the JSON return from the server, is it correctly showing the non-Roman characters? DataTables does just do an innerHTML for data set fromt he server- so if the above code works, it should work when sent back from the server as well.

Hi Allen,

Thanks for the response.

In the JSON the non-Roman characters are corrrectly shown as for instance

allan

The non-Roman characters don't look right for me in Firebug: http://datatables.net/dev/zwemschooldeanemoon.nl.png . There isn't really any difference between the two nTd assignments that you've shown in code clips above - DataTables doesn't do any character encoding conversion. So I still think that the server isn't correctly returning UTF-8 (although I might be wrong ;-) ).

It might be worth having a look through this thread (and it's link threads): http://datatables.net/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=675#Item_4

Another option might be to simple set the innerHTML of a test (empty) div on the page, just to see what happens when you take DataTables out of the loop.

Thx a lot Allen

inserting mysql_query("SET character_set_results=utf8", $gaSql['link']) in server_processing.php;

from the thread you suggested was the solution.

Again thanks for the excellent support and product.

Jaap
