Å, Ä, Ö in Javascript

[Guest_imported]

I’m from Sweden, and we have these funny letters Å, Ä and Ö. I’ve written a Javascript for a popup-window, and put it into a .js file. When I want to use it in my html-code, a call it with a string of text, to be displayed in the popup-window. It works fine in InternetExplorer and Opera, but if the string contains Å, Ä or Ö, it doesn’t work in Netscape.
I’ve tried using “& Aring;” instead of Å, but it doesn’t help.

The solution for this is to use Unicode escaping.

Check the Netscape documentation for this :

http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/core/jsguide15/ident.html#1009568

And IBM's more complex paper if you have time :

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/internationalization-support.html

Also for a reference of characters you should probably start at :

I hope this helps. Gary

is probably where you will get most things you need as far as character set is concerned.
