    Japanese charset support in GetXmlHttpObject()

    Please tell everybody on how to support different languages using AJAX. I've been searching this for a long time in many forums in the internet but they did not solved or post the definite solutions.

    Here's the printscreen: (please do copy and paste if not displayed here.)

    output via php, html and processed with Ajax (http://anime.geocities .jp/rozvinbm_jp/shopsajax.JPG)



    In addition, here is my code to explicitly defined the encoding:
    [HTML]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
    <html xmlns="http:?//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=shift_j is">
    ......[/HTML]

    Code:
    var xmlHttp;
var m_placeholder;

function executeProcess(serverscriptfile, placeholder, posts) {
    xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
    if (xmlHttp==null)
    {
        alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
        return;
    }
    m_placeholder = placeholder;
    var url=serverscriptfile;
    url=url+"?sid="+Math.random();
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
    xmlHttp.open("POST", url, true);
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=Shift-JIS'");
    xmlHttp.send(posts);
}

function stateChanged() {
    if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete")
    {
        document.getElementById(m_placeholder).innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
    }
}

function GetXmlHttpObject() {
    var xmlHttp=null;
    try
    {
        // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
        xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
    catch (e)
    {
        //Internet Explorer
        try
        {
            xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        }
        catch (e)
        {
            xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        }
    }
    return xmlHttp;
}

      Japanese charset support in GetXmlHttpObjec t()

      When the AJAX calls the php file, I've noticed the data in the $_POST are garbage data.

      I think the problem is during GetXmlHttpObjec t execution to past the Posted data to php file.

      Please teach me to set the charset in AJAX supporting Japanese charset.

      Currently, I am using the following settings:

      PostgreSQL ver 7.4.1 encoding: UNICODE

      Javascript/AJAX code
      Code:
      xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=shift_jis'");
      PHP code
      [PHP]header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=shift_j is');[/PHP]

      HTML code
      [HTML]<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=shift_j is">[/HTML]

                  I cannot install the mbstring functions.
                  But I found iconv function.. it works well.

                  here's the php code:
                  [php]$str = iconv("UTF-8", "SJIS", $str);[/php]

                  I do the above code upon calling the php file by the XMLHttpRequest.

                  I have new problem when I release from the debugging season (on production). I will post new topic because it is not related in encoding.

                  Thank you very much.

                      Glad you got this working. I'm sure your other problem will be solvable too.
