[opencms-dev] JavaScript problem solved

[Bryan LaPlante]

very cool, thank you so much. I will look into this tomorrow or rather when
I wake up again today. One bit of confusion, why does opencms have such a
strict requirement with ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8? Is this an issue due to
storing content in the database or does it apply more to the parsing of the
xml files used for templates.

Check out

/system/workplace/templates/edit_options
/system/workplace/templates/edit_page_main

The use of "encodeURIComponent" was added as a feature to support unicode
(UTF-8). It is a replacement for the "encode" JS function. It is however not
supported by older browsers, obviously.

Best Regards,
Alex.
