Extended characters in AJAX response

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 03.2011

Hi,

I am reading one .htm page using XMLHTTP and printing it onto some another page. Page is being read properly but issue is with display.

htm page I am reading contains extended characters like ‘ , “ , ’ , ” , µ , etc. which are being displayed as �in firefox and square boxes in IE.

The actual page I am reading is : [url]http://bulletlink-e5.com/article.htm[/url]

and the page which reads above page using AJAX and displays is : [url]http://bulletlink-e5.com/d.htm[/url]

Please let me know how to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.

@abhijeet_digheauthorFeb 03.2011 — Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But its a static .htm file now. There is no connection with database. I am just reading these static .htm files using AJAX.

You can see static file: http://bulletlink-e5.com/article.htm

and file which reads above page: http://bulletlink-e5.com/d.htm

@KorFeb 03.2011 — Both your documents have charset iso-8859-1. make them UTF-8
<i>
</i>&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=[COLOR="Blue"]utf-8[/COLOR]" /&gt;

But... Your code works a little bit illegal, as it writes on the body of a document some parts of the other document (like meta tags) which normally stay in the HEAD, not in the body.

Success!
