Ajax with special characters

[bigheadedd]

Hi,

 

I've got a really simple ajax script which is called when the page loads and when the page is resized.

It calls a php file which calls a mysql database and retrieves results etc.

I've run the php file on its own, and it returns the results absolutely file, however, it seems when run through an ajax request, special characters don't show up.

 

The main culprit being ç & Ç

 

Is there any way of making these show up?

Here is my ajax code:

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
//Browser Support Code
function ajaxFunction(){
    var ajaxRequest;  // The variable that makes Ajax possible!
    
    try{
        // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
        ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } catch (e){
        // Internet Explorer Browsers
        try{
            ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e) {
            try{
                ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e){
                // Something went wrong
                alert("Your browser broke!");
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server
    ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
        if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
            var ajaxDisplay = document.getElementById('ajaxDiv');
            ajaxDisplay.innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText;

        }
    }
    var heighttrue = window.innerHeight;
    var widthtrue = window.innerWidth;
    var queryString = "?height=" + heighttrue + "&width=" + widthtrue;
    ajaxRequest.open("GET", "includes/test.php" + queryString, true);
    ajaxRequest.send(null); 
}

//-->
</script>

 

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Thanks

Yup!  I ran into this one with a chat page I made.  When I posted to the Database I had to use the JS function encodeURIComponent() on it to get it to encode correctly.  Use decodeURIComponent to decode it.
