Hi!
I try to use the dhtmlxcombo with XML using ISO-8859-1 encoding. Everything is fine, until I try to type special caracters in my combo box. For exemple, here’s my XML :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<complete>
<option value="3206"><![CDATA[Adaptateur USB à PS/2 Win/Mac/Linux - (2)]]></option>
<option value="1916"><![CDATA[Adaptateur USB Bluetooth avec antène EDR2.0 - (1)]]></option>
<option value="2446"><![CDATA[Alcotest numérique AQ 08 PRO - (2)]]></option>
</complete>
So, when I type “Alcotest numé”, there is an “Error type, loadxml, Incorrect XML” because of the “é” character.
How to fix this?
Thanks!!
Hello, is there someone on this forum??
Hi,
make sure that your server-side script returns a correct xml when you type Alcotest numé. The provided xml is loaded correctly into the combo.
You may also try the following modification in the dhtmlxcombo.js:
var url=this._xml+((this._xml.indexOf("?")!=-1)?"&":"?")+“pos=”+ind+"&mask="+encodeURIComponent(text);
try to replace encodeURIComponent with escape
var url=this._xml+((this._xml.indexOf("?")!=-1)?"&":"?")+“pos=”+ind+"&mask="+escape(text);
Great!!
This fixes the first problem, thanks!! 
Now, once I selected an information, when I click the down arrow to scroll the list, I get the same popup error. Is there somewhere else I should change something?
Thanks again!!
Hi,
encodeURIComponent is applied only in one line. Make sure that your server-side script returns the correct xml when it takes pos parameter.
If you are using enableFilteringMode with true as the 4th parameter, the additional request will be sent to load addition data when the last item in a list is selected. You should not use this parameter all suggestions are loaded at once.
Hi and thanks!
I removed the 4th parameter, but I get the same error. Is there something else I should do?
Thanks!

Hi,
Could you provide the link to the problematic page ?
I cant, it’s secured. Here some print screen I made :
First, I select something, typing the first letters :
Second, I go to the next field :
Third, I come back to the dhtmlxcombo, and try to click the down arrow :
Check responses that the server returns for the combo requests.
If the problem is still actuall, we need at least xml to reproduce the problem locally.
I can provide the XML sent the first time, but how to catch the XML sent the second time? How the second XML could be different then the first?
You can see a part of the XML in my first message. I cannot paste all the XML, it would take a lot of space here!!!
How the second XML could be different then the first?
When you click on the combo, it sends the request with the header text as the mask parameter. Make sure that xml is correct in this case.
I can provide the XML sent the first time, but how to catch the XML sent the second time?
FireBug console displays information about requests and loaded xml.
Ok, I installed Firebug and did the checkout. Here’s the XML first returned :

Do you see something wrong?
Thanks again!
Hello?
Is the problem with dhtmlxcombo?
dhtmlxcombo doesnt support special caracters? 
Unfortunately we still can’t reconstruct the issue locally.
Try to use the attached js file instead of the original one, it is modded a bit, and may work better with used encoding.
dhtmlxcombo_iso.zip (9.72 KB)
Thanks!
I still have the popup error, but beside that, it’s working much better!
Is there a way to get ride of the popup?
thanks again!!
If you meant loadXML error alert, you may desable using the following approach:
dhtmlxError.catchError(“LoadXML”,function(){});
Super! Thanks!
Final question… is there a limit in the amount of result that can be returned and displayed in the dhtmlxcombo? If I try to return more then 150 results, I got nothing in my list? Is this about the timeout in the mainLoop() function? There’s not enought time to parse the result?
Hello,
is there a limit in the amount of result that can be returned and displayed in the dhtmlxcombo?
Combo doesn’t limits number of options. Possibly incorrect xml is loaded. Please check xml that is loaded in problem case.
