URGENT-charset problem with AJAX HELP!!

[r_o]

hi all,
i have a new problem now i'm quick huh :D
well what can i say im still a beginner
the thing is im using ajax to replace a drop down list with another inside a div
upon a choice made by the user.The problem is with the charset,
see in the main page the one that calls the ajax code, data is displayed as it should be,
but when the ajax code calls the server side script and replaces the drop down list, foreign characters are replaced with ???? in IE and **** in FireFox

You need to use html entiries to display foreign characters, for instance to display

é

you need to put

é

into the html code
