passing charset via xmlhttprequest

[learner45]

Hi,

I am vew to web development & have the following problem:

On my ASP page (let's call it ASP-1), I have a form and the values from this form are passed to another page (ASP-2) via javascript-xmlhttprequest. ASP-2 basically serves as a query function and returns the search results that are displayed in ASP-1 in a DIV element. All is working well - except one problem:

The ASP-1 is available in multiple languages; hence multiple charset. Is there a way to pass on the charset value from ASP-1 to ASP-2 so that the charset in the DIV element in ASP-1 is in harmony with the rest of the content?

Thanks for your replies!

I found this, it may be of some help to you. Read the whole thing, as it looks like there are some code samples at the bottom that do work:
