it can not converting in studentName special characters to studentLink textfield. How can it write to studentLink textfield without special characters ?

 

 

 

<script>
function sync()
{
  var n1 = document.getElementById('studentName');
  var n2 = document.getElementById('studentLink');
  n2.value = n1.value;
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function karaktercevir(text)
    {
      var yaz = new String();
      var chars = text.value.split("");
      for (i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("Ç", "C");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("ç", "c");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("Ğ", "G");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("ğ", "g");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("İ", "I");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("ı", "i");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("Ö", "O");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("ö", "o");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("Ş", "S");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("ş", "s");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("Ü", "U");
          chars[i]=chars[i].replace("ü", "u");

it can not converting in studentName special characters to studentLink textfield

 

Do you have a meta tag with charset utf8 on the top of the page, something like:

 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

hi

 why not converting?

 

yes it has <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

How do you get these names from a database or just from a regular file?

[Irate]

Some browsers do not always correctly set the charset HTTP header, so I think you could try adding a header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); in your PHP file if you are using one.

 

Otherwise, try getting the Unicode-formatted character encodings for the characters you need.

it was a simply textfield. not coming from database or a regular file.

[dgnzcn]

is there any coding issue in my script?

[jazzman1]

Can you post here some piece of text?

sample text:

DOĞAN ÖZÇİNE

[jazzman1]

Save the file which contains this text field as UTF8 file encoding without BOM, because I don't see anything wrong with this name.
