How can I enter French in alert('French language') function?

Discussion in 'JavaScript' started by pvphuc, Apr 3, 2007.

    I want to use French in alert() function but I do not know how to do that.

    This is my code :

    Response.Write("<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>");
    Response.Write("alert('expiré');");
    Response.Write("</script>");

    It is displayed : expir

    This character "é" is not displayed. I tried some cases and I got the same result.

    Please help me about this.

    Thanks a lot!

    Best Regards,

    ^^ This won't work either. Try setting the charset to iso-8859-1 in your page <head>

    
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    
    HTML:
    And try it again like you had at the beginning.

    Now I use char hexadecimal unicode for that and it works well.

    for example :
    Response.Write("<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>");
    Response.Write("alert('expir\xE9');");
    Response.Write("</script>");

    xE9 : 223 -> its code is é

    This is link table of Unicode for sepcial character :
