Problems with French Characters in Page Title

Here is the problem
When using Duplicate Page and trying to set page titles with french characters (or other non standard characters for that matter such as qoutes) The resulting output does not display correctly.
I thought a work around would be to us the HTML escape codes in the title dialog when creating the page however it appears that Incontext then goes and attemps to escape the ampersand part of the escape code during save.
so for instance when trying to set a page title such as Whistler Live! prépare la scène using the following escaped version
Whistler Live! prépare la scène
The resulting HTML saved from incontext looks like this
Whistler Live! pr&eacute;pare la sc&egrave;ne
and the title does not display correctly.
Incontext sees the & which is page of the HTML escape code and they automatically replaces that with &
How the heck can we set HTML Special characters in our page titles - any ideas?

Hi Corey
To answer your questions I am on windows 7 IE 8 and also tried in firefox 3.6
backend is windows 2000 / IIS 6 / Coldfusion 8
I am able to enter the characters in the dialog box but during the save they are altered
I created a basic test page with nothing but the following code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ice="http://ns.adobe.com/incontextediting">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div ice:editable="*" >
<p>Test test</p>
</div>
</div>
<script src="/includes/ice/ice.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>
saved it as test-characters.cfm (coldfusion page) and tested it out
problem was still there however when I save the page as a .html file and test it out the problem is no longer present
So the problem seems to only occur when using .cfm pages (even if there is no cf code on them)
I am going to send you a private message with access to my test pages in case your inclined to take a look
Thanks for you help so far

Problem with French characters with updateContent

I have this problem with Spry, (had it also with YUI a few
months ago) with special french characters
(éèçàù). I use encoding UTF-8, but
iso-8859-1 isn't working either. I put some examples here:
http://www.eventsonholiday.com/test_loadurl.asp
As long as it is static content, no problem. But when I get
content from a recordset from an Access database: trouble.
In IE7 the french characters are even worse, and I get the
error: null is empty or not an object

I think I found a solution. I found a few resources on the
internet that said: xmlhttprequest always sends data as utf-8 by
default. So when all the other pages use iso-8859-1, there's a
problem. It can be solved this way: when retrieving recordset
fields from ASP I use
HTMLEncoding like this:
<%=Server.HTMLEncode(RSevents.Fields.Item("event_location").Value)%>.
I have to do this for each field in the page, what means some extra
work.
For PHP it should be done with
htmlentities
If anyone has a solution without using the Server.HTMLEncode
method, tell me...

Problems with special characters in InputStream or XPath

Hello everyone,
I am having problems with special characters such as ", ', - and so on, everything becomes ? (questionmark). (Not with special nordic characthers (å,æ,ø) though.)
The encoding of the XML is UTF-8, and the server that holds the webservice is setting encoding to UTF-8 also, so no conflict there.
What I have done is something like this:
{code}
String url = "http://www.formula1.com/rss/news/latest.rss"; // This is not the feed I use, it is a custom XML document
InputSource is = new InputSource(url);
DocumentBuilderFactory fct = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = fct.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(is);
Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
out.print(xPath.evaluate("/rss/channel/title", rootElement)); // The xml is not a RSS feed, this is just an example.
{code}
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint of how to solve this in another way.
Best regards,
G.Hansen

Hello, thanks for you reply. I had to rewrite your code a little, and I think that your code would not really compile, if you tried yourself :-)
I ended up with something like this:
our environment is running in 1.4 mode, so I could not use the for-each loop :-(
public String printEntities(String s) {
     char[] sArray = s.toCharArray();
     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
       for (int i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
         if (sArray[i] > 256)
              sb.append("&#x" + Integer.toHexString(sArray) + ";");
     } else
          sb.append(sArray[i]);
     return sb.toString();

How to send Oracle rowid to servlet? | Problem with national characters.

There is same possibility how to send rowid to servlet?
I have now definition like this:
<af:image source="/imageservlet?Par1=#{bindings.Col1.inputValue}"/>
But If column contents national characters, servlet methods obtained changed these characters.
My idea is to use not primary key for row, but use oracle rowid. It is simply possible?
Use something like this:
<af:image source="/imageservlet?Rowid=#{bindings.Rowid}"/
Or Do you have ideas how to solve problem with national characters ?
Thanks
FiL

Hi,
Although your workaround works.
I think this is a simple encoding problem.
I simply need to make sure all parameters and pages are encoded with a char set which contains the national characters you mentioned.
This is a bit dependent on the exact technology your using, but most can be done via the web.xml:
<jsp-config>
      <jsp-property-group>
          <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
          <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
      </jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>     This forces all JSP pages to be encoded in UTF-8
Adding the following parameter sometimes helps as well, although I think this one is a bit dated:
You said your using a servlet so your servlet needs a similar block for its pattern
<context-param>
    <param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
    <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</context-param>If you want to be 100% sure the encoding is set right make sure thepages contain:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>Or depending on your view technology the syntax can be a bit different

Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

Hi,
we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "̈". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Nico

Hi Nico
Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
<b>To set one or more values back to their original values:</b>
1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
<b>NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.</b>

Problem with national characters on windows client

Hello there,
I'am having problem with national characters on windows client.
All national data stored in NVARCHAR2 colums, applications (.net) works fine,
but in sqlplus:
select city from test_table;
- everything ok, sqlplus shows national characters
select dump(N'<national symbols>') from dual
- returns
Typ=96 Len=12: 0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191,0,191
select * from test_table where city = N'<national symbols> '
- always returns nothing
As i understand the problem in
sql query text (and national literals) convertion
to servers "WE8ISO8859P1" encoding, Is it possible
to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance
PS.
Console in right mode (chcp=1251)
sqlplus shows russian messages well

N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

Can my iMac be set to type with French characters?

Hello all! Can my iMac be set to type with French characters? If so, what is the path? And, is there a keyboard overlay to see where the French language characters are located on the keyboard? Thanks!

Hey Steve,
Thanks again for the thoughts... Unfortunately, the only characters that I can use keyboard shortcuts for French are the é, ç and the á (it's better than nothing).
Outside of that, I have to switch keyboard layouts. I know of the accent grave ( `e ) that's nextdoor to the number one key... But it don't work... my translator thinks it's a typo... because it takes up a whole characters worth of space instead of sharing the space with the actual letter (vowel), like the other accents.
So I need keyboard shortcuts for:
ê Ê Ë ë è È
Ô ô Ö ö
à À Û û
I use these letters just enough to make switching keyboards back and forth a little irksome. Since the two keyboards have pretty distinctively different layouts and then we have the position of the A and M keys and.. well... see where this could lead??? LOL
Thanks...
I appreciate your thoughts, as always...

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Problems on selecting views with french characters into column names

Hi All,
I have views with column names such as "Détermination Planimétriq" or "Année de construction:*";
I can get in my c# function this columns names from ALL_VIEWS dictionary table, but if I try to make a selectionby use of an OracleCommand, Oracle returns an "Invalid identifier" error:
SELECT "Détermination Planimétriq" FROM mytable;
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException (0x80131938): ORA-00904: "Determination Planimetriq": invalid identifier at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection.CheckError(OciErrorHandle errorHandle, Int32 rc) at ...
Any suggestion?...

Be wary of using character codes outside the Western European "simple" alphanumeric [A-Z0-9] for object names, i.e. columns, table names, function and procedure names, and so on.
First reason, there is a 30 character limit for most object names, and characters that have to be spelled out with unicode characters take more space, i.e.:
select dump( 'Détermination Planimétriq' ) from dual;
DUMP('D?TERMINATIONPLANIM?TRIQ')
Typ=96 Len=29: 68,239,[ ... ]Although the varchar string for that column name looks like 25 characters, it needs room for 29 to store the e<acute> character. And could also depend on the client settings. Using case sensitive names is not a best practice, its better to avoid specifying objects with the double quotes.

Problem with special characters! Need a big help!

Hello!
Please be patient with me. English is not my main language.
I have a big problem with my countries special chars.
Our spec. chrs are á,é,í,ó,ö,ő,ú,ü,ű
When I save a document every other characters (even other special chars) are okey, but ő and ű will be o and u after saving my document.
This is really annoy me. I've read a lot of forums in my country, but I can't find any solution.
When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Fonts" and no document is open, Font Settings: Unicode
If I change this, and I reopen this window it will be on Unicode again. I can't change it.
When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Fonts" and my documents are open, Font Settings: "Nyugat-európai" (means Western European)
If I change this, and I reopen this window it will be "Nyugat-európai" (Western European) again. I can't change it.
It should be: "Közép-Európai" (means Central European) but every time I change it, it reverts to this defaults.
Please help me!
I have to reopen every file in Notepad and rewrite the ő,ű chars.
Thanks,
Averin Kilian

Ok, solved:
From, DW do Edit | Preferences | New Document and set the Default Encoding to
whatever you wish it to be. That will set the default for all new
documents in Dreamweaver.
For the existing pages, you will need to open them and do Modify | Page Properties | Title/Encoding to set the encoding as you desire.

[internationalization] problems with Chinese characters

Hi everybody.
I'm working on a program and i'd like to translate it into several languages. Until now I've managed to launch my program in 3 languages : French, English and German. I do it by asking the user which language he'd like to select by means of a JComboBox. Then the right Locale is selected and the right text is called by the RessourceBundle and so on .... Actually I've encountered no problems with "latin lettered" languages.
I also tried to introduce Chinese in my program and that's how problems come in. The way Chinese is introduced in the program is exactly the same that of French, English and German. The .properties file I use is MyRessourcesMainTitle_zh.properties and one line is stored in it: title = 中文
However when I run the program and selected Chinese as language an error pops up in the DOS console : "Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.MissingRessourceException : Can't find ressource for bundle java.util.PropertyRessourceBundle, key title".
I would like to point out that I saved my *.properties in a former *.txt file encoded in Unicode. Saving it encoded either in Unicode big endian or in UTF8 ends with the same problem. However the program ran just fine when I encoded it in ANSI but it's worthless insofar as the Chinese characters are transformed into "?".
Would anyone have an idea about how to implement sucessfully Chinese characters in my program ?

I dont think you can print chinese chars at the console on window
to print the character codes to the console use someting like that
char [] chars = request.getParameter("whatever").toCharArray()
for(each chars){
System.out.println((int)chars);
then check if you got the corresponding chinese char

Problem with premiere elements 3.0 (titles when creating DVD)

I am using version 3.0 and when you go to create DVD there should be the option to insert titles or menu page at the start of your DVD, well that has disappeared from my programme. We had problems with the pc so had to reinstall alot of the programmes on it but the titles never came back when we re-installed the programme. I have tried everything i can think of but there are still no titles or menus available. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Give this a try and see if it helps.
