Hi,
When using partials, I’m not able to keep the text posted as
ISO-8859-1, it changes to UTF-8.
The browser detects the page as ISO-8859-1, but I know the string from
the form is not
ISO-8859-1 when given to the method.
I’m able to keep the string as ISO-8859-1 if I don’t use any partials or
RJS.
This is how the view with partials and RJS looks like:
main.rhtml
Send it: <%= controller.action_name %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag ‘nb’ %>
<%= render :partial => "publish" %>
_publish.rhtml
<%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => 'publish' },
:before => "Element.show('spinner');",
:success => "show_results(xhr);",
:failure => "show_error(xhr);",
:complete => "Element.hide('spinner');",
:html => { :id => 'thought-form' } %>
<br>Message:<br>
<%= text_area 'message', 'text', :maxlength => 60 %>
<%= submit_tag 'Publish' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
<div id="thoughts">
</div>
publish.rjs:
page.replace_html ‘thoughts’, :partial => ‘status’
page.visual_effect :highlight, ‘thoughts’
page.form.reset ‘thought-form’
_status.rhtml
<%= flash[:notice] %>
<%= flash[:warning] %>
The code abow changes the input string to UTF-8, but the below does not.
How do I make sure the string is ISO-8859-1 through all of the
application?
plain_publish.rhtml
<%= form_tag :action => 'plainpublish' %>
<br>Message:<br>
<%= text_area 'message', 'text', :maxlength => 60 %>
<%= submit_tag 'Publish' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
The methods are identical except for the name.
Any thoughts or suggestions are highly appreciated!
