Hi,

I have a list of users obtained from a db in one frame and after selecting some, are passed onto another frame. The problem is with the usernames which have accents..

For example; a name such as "André" in the left frame appears as "Andrý" in the right frame..

I am trying to do something like this:

String namefromDb = "André (HP)"; // for example...
namefromDb = namefromDb.replaceAll("é","é"); //é is the html entity code..

But even after doing this, I still have the problem..

any suggestions ?
TIA

hmm...are you specifying the character set in the document head?

put this in the <head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
