I've recently ran into a problem and I would really use a bit of help from the community. I'm trying to load a HTML file using jQuery load().
The index file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Question</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=euc-kr" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function restart(){
$("#wrap").load('new-content.html').hide().fadeIn('slow');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">Text before restart: 남성</div>
</div>
<br />
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="restart()">Restart</a>
</body>
</html>
The new HTML file includes some simple HTML content and a call to a .js file (used for some animations). The new content file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Question</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=euc-kr" />
<script src="main.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="contentInner">Text after restart: 여성</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see I've included the correct encoding charsets (for both files) and I've double checked and I can confirm that every file used for this part of the code it's encoded as "KOREAN" (checked in different apps like Dreamweaver, Notepad++, Sublime Text 2).
Yet still once I load the content the characters are not encoded properly; question marks appearing instead of characters.
Of course I made some searching before posting and I found a few helpful topics about this called the PHP header solution, but this isn't an options since it need to use HTML/JS/CSS only.
The same behavior occurs when I'm using the Japanese language too. In other latin based languages everything is working perfectly fine of course.
Any sort of input/advice/help would be much much appreciated.
Thank you!
