Saving text with special characters was morphing it into all kinds of ugly extra things in an exponentially increasing sequence each time I saved.
0 saves: © 1 saves: © 2 saves: é 3 saves: Ã￿é 4 saves: Ã￿ï¿¿Ã￿é You get the idea. The real cause may have something to do with character sets. Maybe I'm not declaring them right somewhere? I did manually insert this line in my HTML: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in place of the instructions saying to insert this line, which won't work cross-domain: <!--#include file="RTE_configuration/browser_page_encoding_inc.asp" --> The good news: My solution in my PHP application was to pass the text through a UTF8 Decode. No idea how to do this in ASP but in PHP it was: $content = utf8_decode($content); I did the above just before adding slashes in prep for making an SQL command. The bad news: Several characters still have issues however (enlarged for visibility):

This is a character encoding issue.
The Web Wiz Rich text Editor is not intended as a standalone application instead it is intended to be used to turn the plain text areas of your own application in to WYSIWYG HTML Areas. How your application handles page encoding is up to you, however you need to make sure that the page your form is on and your pages displaying the submitted content use the same character encoding. |
