Multipage CForm using Ajax - Non ascii Characters
Hi
Cocoon 2.11
I have implemented a multipage CForm which uses Ajax. The form is based on the example at
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/cocoon21/samples/blocks/forms/do-multipage.flow
The form works fine except that it does not save non ascii characters correctly eg.
É EUR ç £
If I use one very long form without Ajax the above characters are correctly saved
Help please, How can I fix this problem

Ajax calls use default character encoding defined by HTTP 1.1 spec (which
iso-8859-1, not UTF-8). You have to encode BEFORE sending and decode AFTER
retrieving those strings.
Encode with encodeURIComponent, decode with decodeURIComponent (if
Javascript).

Greg

Have you tried google this ? e.g.
http://cocoon.10839.n7.nabble.com/Binding-Encoding-with-CForms-Dojo-td57359.html
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1366_1_1.html
Those clues should fix your problem.

Hi Robby,
Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I don't have any client side scripting. I am using CForms to allow the site
owner to populate a database. The data is then used in a number of different xhtml pages.
Kind regards

Hi Peter,
No… encodeURIComponent should go in the client javascript.
And in flowscript you have to decode the parameter value again.
importClass(Packages.java.net.URLDecoder);
var decodedvalue = URLDecoder.decode(cocoon.request.getParameter(“someparam”);
Kind regards,
Robby

Thanks Greg and Robby for your replies.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I assume encodeURIComponent goes into the flowscript:
function multipage() {
var lodgeId = cocoon.parameters.lodgeId;
cocoon.request.setAttribute("lodgeId", lodgeId);
var documentURI = cocoon.parameters["documentURI"];
// parse the document to a DOM-tree
var document = loadDocument(documentURI);
//document = decodeURIComponent (document);
// get the documentURI parameter from the sitemap which contains the location of the form definition (model)
var definitionURI = cocoon.parameters["definitionURI"];
//create new form
var form = new Form(definitionURI);
// get the documentURI parameter from the sitemap which contains the location of the binding file
var bindingURI = cocoon.parameters["bindingURI"];
form.createBinding(bindingURI);
// bind the document data to the form
form.load(document);
// show the form to the user until it is validated successfully
form.showForm("lodgemul-display-pipeline.jx");
// bind the form's data back to the document
form.save(document);
// save the DOM-tree back to an XML file,
document = encodeURIComponent(document);
saveDocument(document, documentURI);
// show the xml generated from the form
var success ='/B&B/England/Devon/Bideford/'+ lodgeId+'.html';
//cocoon.redirectTo('/office/' + lodgeno+'.htm');
cocoon.sendPage(success);
}
document = encodeURIComponent(document); produces the following error when I submit the completed form
Can't find method org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.DOMStreamer.stream(string).
What am I doing wrong

You will probably need to encode the characters if you make an ajax call…
var somevalue = encodeURIComponent(“this is a value to be encoded”);
