WebTier Encoding

rbuser

Is this possible to change encoding of XHTML text produced by WebTier to
UTF-8?
Problem description:
Generated XHTML has header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
but it is encoded with my system default Windows-1250 instead of UTF-8.
Web browser by automatically displays report in UTF-8 encoding, so national
characters are shown incorrectly.

Does anybody know the solution?

I researched this one and looks like we need to call Delphi's AnsiToUtf8
conversion function when generating the XHTML. We will try to correct this
for the next maintenance release, RB 9.02.

Hi

I'm using RB Server 11.03. I can confirm that the character encoding used in
the generated report (0001.htm) file is UTF-8.

Is there a way of changing this? We have some customer reporting problems
with some characters not displaying, but if they change the character
encoding in their browser then it makes a difference, but that the change is
only temporary (the browser always reverts back to the encoding set
specified in the HTML file).

This appears to be a Firefox issue and not suich an issue in IE.

Thanks
Jason.

RB 11 for D2009, the webtier uses UTF-8.

RB 11 for D2007 and prior, the webtier uses ISO-8859-1 (i.e. Latin-1).

Please generate a sample report to an archive file (.raf) and then zip it up
and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com. Also, please include relevant
environment details including Delphi version and web browser versions.
