javascript and html entities

[ahs10]

i am having such trouble with this, i don't know why.

 

my document is encoded at iso-8859-1, and the below code does not work properly.

 

var email="whatever@whereever.com"

vaq subject="Javascript Aggravates Me"

var body_message="é"

var mailto='mailto:'+email+'?subject='+subject+'&body='+body_message;

win = window.open(mailto,'emailWindow');

 

when it opens in a new mail window it display é not the accented e i want to be displayed.

 

however, down in the body of my page if i put é it displays the accented e.

 

what the hell am i doing wrong?

[optikalefx]

well for one you spelled var wrong

for two you dont have semi colons after each line

and for three the accented e is not é better off convering an character number for that one

semi-colons are optional in javascript. I don't use them at all myself - its extra unnecessary code.

 

The accented i:

 

í
or
í
