Grid doesn't show some characters

Hi, first congratulations for you for the work.

Second, as i'm from Brazil, the portuguese language has some characters that english doesn't have, such as "Ã§,Ã¡,Ã¼".

Well, the problem is when i try to load the XML content (built from a database) with those characters, the content is not loaded in the grid, and the browser shows an error (i'm using IE6 as browser). When i change the database content to normal characters, it works fine.

Does grid control support those characters?

Cara, nÃ£o Ã© o grid quem tem que suportar os character set da lingua portuguesa, mas o browser. VocÃª pode tentar forÃ§ar que o browser utilize o characther set correto desta forma:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
blah blah bl;ah b... ;-)

De toda a forma, pode ser realmente que exista alguma limitaÃ§Ã£o intrÃnseca a este grid especificamente. Eu sinceramente jÃ¡ fiz o meu e nÃ£o uso este tÃ£o cedo (jÃ¡ tentou criar um grid com 1500 itens? este Ã© muuuuuuito lento...)

Um abc!

Valeu cara!

Acho estranho pois jÃ¡ estou utilizando-o assim. Mas vou ver se Ã© problema com o db, talvez seja (eu gero um xml dinamicamente do db e o coloco no grid).

Quanto a um bom grid, qual vc utiliza?

Thanks man!

I think it's not a problem inside the HTML code, because i use this language as well. But i'll try to find out if it's about the database, because i buid the XML dynamicaly.

As long as your XML is correct the grid should be able to display the characters (I saw Chinese, Hebrew and other alphabets - no problem). Make sure IE can display your XML data when you put the data URL into the command line. You may need to escape the characters if you are building the XML with plain string concatenation. Also its necessary to have HTTP header 'Content-Type: text/xml'.

Eu nÃ£o uso grids prontos, criei o meu prÃ³prio pois precisava de um objeto que fosse nÃ o apenas grid, mas tambÃ©m listview.

Infelizmente, nÃ£o posso mostrar o cÃ³digo pois Ã© proprietÃ¡rio da Aker, empresa onde trabalho, para o novo produto deles que vai ser demostrado no Security Week de SÃ£o Paulo semana que vem

De toda a forma, jÃ¡ estou trabalhando em uma nova versÃ£o pois pedi demissÃ£o daqui. AÃ, essa versÃ£o pretendo lanÃ§ar open source.

Estou no estÃ¡gio de remodelagem da classe ainda pois tem muita sujeira no cÃ³digo antigo (coisas que foram sendo criadas simplesmente porque tinham que ser criadas dÃ£o nisso...).

O projeto vai ficar hospedado na sourceforge, sob o nome JSObjects. Ainda estou esperando a aprovaÃ§Ã£o do projeto por eles.

Na verdade, o que estou criando Ã© uma biblioteca com todos os objetos HTML refeitos do jeito que deveriam ser (checkboxes e radios com labels clicÃ¡veis, menus direitos com possibilidade de ter outros objetos dentro como listboxes, listview - grid e treeview - em um Ãºnico objeto, etc...)

Se quiser, acompanha o projeto, pois vai ser massa. Vamos usar ele para fazer interfaces web para uma distro de FreeBSD voltada para gateways (firewall, smtp, IDS, etc...)

Um abc!

Pablo se vc quiser um "test-driver" manda seu email para mim, ok?!?

O Projeto foi aprovado, mas nÃ£o tem nada ainda. http://jsobjects.sf.net. E meu e-mail Ã© phackwer@bsdmail.org

My brazilian portuguese is not quite brushed up, so maybe I am missing
the solution here, but I am having the same problem with national characters in iso-8859-1 (Latin-1).

For instance: An iso8859-1-encoded MicrÃ¶soft displays as Micr?t

"-quoting and META-tagged character-encoding did not help me.
I am loading from a tab separated file for testing, will move to
some other data source later on.

It is not apparent to me what kind of quoting would be necessary,
or for which involved part the quoting is intended.

From what I've seen so far, the grid displays very nicely, clean and lean, and is also very simple to use. Good work!

I guess the trick is to make your web server sending correct Content-Type: ???; charset=??? header with the CSV file. Also, if you create the file on Windows, it might be UTF-8, not iso8859-1.

Yes, I also tried setting that header in IIS, but no effect. Strange.
(Environment: English WinXP, IIS, some Swedish regional settings)

However, recoding the file to UTF-8 did work. Thanks for
pointing me in that direction.

This is fine for the moment. If anyone else here can
provide hints to what might be wrong with my ISO-8859-1
setup, or share a working example, I'd be very grateful.

ItÂ´s me again. My problem was related to the database encoding. I use porstgresql and i was working on a UNICODE encoded database. When i changed the encode to LATIN1 (which does support the brazilian portuguese characters), everything worked just fine.

The problem was when i tried to record those characters, the database was recording some strange characters. These were crashing when i built the grid and even when i built the xml file.

First times I try to create grid xml from example (folder data), I inserted some charactor in other language (thai language), grid cannot display in correct format.

so, I insert the header to the xml file with this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and refresh grid but still cannot. If I save the xml file as "UTF-8" format then grid display correct. I don't know why.
