Problem with french character

[chill]

EDIT - problem is with é character in example below ... I am actually entering it as & eacute; (put in space because your forum automatically changed it to é).

aI("text=Politique d'intimité;url=../site/index.cfm?fuseaction=Privacy;");

The result of this line includes the URL ... it is messed up because of the french character.

In other examples I have successfully used é ... the problem seems to be that this character falls DIRECTLY BEFORE the semi-colon separating the text from the url.

Any suggestions?

Hi Cheryl,

... I am actually entering it as & eacute; (put in space because your forum automatically changed it to é)....

Can you please reply and either (1) check the "Disable HTML in the post" option (below the text edit area) or (2) place your code inside of "code" tags (manually or by using the code button above the text area). Either option will ignore the html character code that you're using and render it as plain text in your posted message. I'd like to see your aI() definition exactly as it appears in your menu_data.

Also, what browser/os are you seeing the problem in?

Try this...

Code: Select all

aI("text=Politique d'intimité;url=../site/index.cfm?fuseaction=Privacy;");

Note the double ;; after the special.

Check "Disable HTML in this post" to get things looking the way you want.

I had already tried that and it didn't work.

However, I made a new copy of the file, and voila...no problem. Hmmm....

thanks for your response.

Some invisible snuck in there on you!

Works the same way for any special -  ;, etc. (only at the end of a parameter, of course; e.g.    ;url=...).

hi,

The apostrophe character is also a problem I guess. I you should escape the sign with a leading Backslash: d\'intimité.
The menu system can use the apostrophe as a delimiter.

Actually Umlauts are not a problem. I use umlauts like üöäèà all the times, but without converting it to an html special character.

If you can enter umlauts with no problem, then I'd have to believe the menu can understand high-ASCII characters. If that's the case, then an é should work by itself with the use of an &.
