[Javascript] UTF-8 and AJAX

[Peter Lauri]

Sorry, I was very tired yesterday when I wrote that. What I mean is that the
content that is coming back is not the text that they entered. With English
letters it works fine, but when involving Thai it doesn't work.

When I use AJAX to get Thai content that was submitted with regular post
method (not AJAX) it works fine. But when I use AJAX to get Thai content
that was submitted with AJAX GET method it does not work.

I do perform a UTF-8 encoding of the string before adding it to the URL that
is submitted with AJAX.

This is the code that I am using to push the information:

function teamCreateNew() {
	createForm = document.forms["createnew"];
	
	formName =
WebToolKit.utf8.encode(createForm.elements["name"].value);
	formDescription =
WebToolKit.utf8.encode(createForm.elements["description"].value);
	formInvite = createForm.elements["inviteonly"].checked;

	geturl =
'teamajax.php?action=addteam&name='+formName+'&description='+formDescription
+'&inviteonly='+formInvite;


	http.open('get', geturl);
	http.onreadystatechange = teamHandleCreateNewResponse;
	http.send(null);

	createForm.elements["name"].value = "";
	createForm.elements["description"].value = "";

}

The encoding is from the package:
http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript/base64-encode-decode/

Is it more clear now?

/Peter

Can you define "dies" with more detail of exactly where you've  
identified the problem?

Peace,
Scott
