Javascript link with UTF-8 characters

[steffen]

We are in the middle of evaluating FusionCharts as a replacement for OpenFlashChart. Unfortunately, we have problems with multilingual characters in javascript links for drill down charts.

 

 

 

UTF-8 characters are printed fine in the chart itself, but the browser receives wrong characters in the javascript call. We tried both options, the awkward "j-" and the classical "javascript:" notation. In the first case, both Firefox and IE receive the UTF8 multibyte characters wrongly, in the latter case, only IE has those problems.

 

 

 

[set link="j-chart_popup-blö" ...]

 

[set link="javascript:chart_popup('blö')" ...]

 

(for some reason, the ifcode for code didn't work)

 

 

 

Even tried the BOM mark with no change. The HTML document has UTF-8 encoding and it worked fine in OpenFlashChart. Any ideas?

Hi,

 

 

 

Can you please try [chart unescapeLinks='0' ...] once?

[steffen]

Can you please try [chart unescapeLinks='0' ...] once?

 

 

 

That helped. I needed to go with the j- notation, though. It didn't work with javascript: in Firefox. Thus, I also needed to escape any dashes in the arguments to the javascript function, which is rather ugly.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Steffen

However, please confirm the followings while defining a link with special charecters:-

1)Please enable the 'registerWithJS'.

2)Please save the file with UTF8 encoded form.

Hi,

Could you please replace "console.log(p);" with "alert(p);" in the HTML page.

Ref:-<script language="JavaScript">

function myJs(p) {

 alert(p);

}

 </script>

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Would you please consider using the code below and see if it works?

 <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!--

 function myJS(myVar){

window.alert(myVar);

 }

//-->

</SCRIPT>

Awaiting your reply.

It doesn't work.I use IE7,the fusioncharts work fine if I set "unescapeLinks=0"

the sample give me a javascript error even if I delete the javascript function myJs in the html.
