Special Characters (French) not showing in grid

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

My data has a name of Frédéric, but it does not display correctly in the grid. Its in the XML file correctly, but something is preventing it from displaying in the grid.

I’m using: Response.Write("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>" ) as my sml header.

Any ideas?

#2

Have you tried encoding iso-8859-15 ?

#3

Please check if encoding in XML, data base and at the page is the same

#4

Try to put your name in “CDATA”

#5

I have tried <?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-15'?> and placing my data inside

and my grid does not display the data correctly. The data displays correctly on all other controls.
#6

Have you tried “rotxt” as cell type too?

#7

Changed the cell type to rotxt and hand the same results. Still do not get my French characters. I have hard coded the name ‘Frédéric’ in the XML page, so its not even coming from the database. Is this a known bug in the Grid?

#9

My XML endcoding is: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
I’m not using a database, the data is static and will not display French Characters. Are there any examples of this working?

#10

French characters are showing well for us in dhtmlxGrid.
If issue still occurs for you - pleaqse provide a complete demo where the issue can be reconstructed.

#11

I have no problem with french characters as well… fortunately

#12

I’ve got exactly the same pb.

I’ve solved it by both encoding my xml in utf8 (using utf8_encode php’s function) and using CDATA to protect datas.
