UTF-8 porblem with IE 6.0 using function new Option()

dioxyde · Oct 29, 2005

I have the next HTML page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript; charset=UTF-8">
function populate() {
var option = new Option("Almería","01");
..
}
</SCRIPT>
..

But when i populate my select field I see Almería not Almería,
and putting Almería I have html Errors in IE 6.0

Thanks

Because JavaScript != HTML, you don't need to use HTML character entites when using JS to create your elements. Just use the actual character.

Hope this helps,

I see...
but...check this code, there is an IE 6.0 Error using the actual caracter (Almería) but not with (Almeria)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload='javascriptopulate();'>

<FORM name=myform action="myAction" method=post>
<SELECT name=myselect>
<OPTION value=0 selected>(No importa)</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
