german umlaut like Ã„ (Iso: &Auml) in Parameter Text-Box

Hi, I have a Problem with german umlaut like 'Ã„'. I made a report with subreports. For this purpose I have some text parameters. The values are loades from a database. So if I work with drill through the Umlaute like Ã¤, Ã¶, Ã¼ etc. are correct displayed on the report. But now I have to build a link with javascript, where I submit the parameters: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://localhost:8080/birt43/frameset?__report=report/test.rptdesign&Param1=test&Param2=Namewith'>http://localhost:8080/birt43/frameset?__report=report/test.rptdesign&Param1=test&Param2=Namewith</a>Ãœ So the failure is on Param2. The Problem is, that I couldnÂ´t send umlaute on http link. For this purpose normally I could use iso code 8859-1 Instead of 'Ã„' in the http link I use '&Auml'. But Birt misinterpret &Auml as new Parameter, because the '&' is normally use for new terms. What can I do? kind regards

Hi, Take a look here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.url-encode-decode.com/'>http://www.url-encode-decode.com/</a> If I enter a Ã¤ and push the button, it gives me %3F Does this help?

Hi, I found a simple javascript command for this:see the following link <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://de.selfhtml.org/javascript/objekte/unabhaengig.htm#decode_uri'>http://de.selfhtml.org/javascript/objekte/unabhaengig.htm#decode_uri</a><pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-js"><html><head><title>Test</title></head><body><script type="text/javascript">Adresse = "http://www.example.org/cgi-bin/script.pl?Text=der Ã¼bergebene Text&Name=Stefan MÃ¼nz";document.write("Adresse unkodiert: " + Adresse + " ");Adresse = encodeURI(Adresse);document.write("Adresse kodiert: " + Adresse + " ");Adresse = decodeURI(Adresse);document.write("Adresse wieder dekodiert: " + Adresse + " ");</script></body></html></pre>

Hi guys, I have to reopen this topic again, because if I send my parameters via URl, I always have the problem with german umlaut.

First I have made a birt html report form, where the user could make some changes. Then I put the html text fields as parameter into a link, to call another report (If I use drill through, then umlauts are displayed in the correct way, but I couldnÂ´t use html text fields for drill-through) The URl looks like this:<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://localhost:8080/birt43/frameset?__report=report/personal1.rptdesign&NNAME=Österreich'>http://localhost:8080/birt43/frameset?__report=report/personal1.rptdesign&NNAME=Österreich</a> localhost:8080/birt43/frameset?__report=report/personal1.rptdesign&NNAME=Österreich (I put the link 2x. Because you see, the Firefox Explorer + Internet Explorer interpret the umlaut in the right way. You could see I encode Ã– into %C3%96 with this JS encodeURI. But if I run the report with the link above, the BIRT Parameter NNAME looks like 'Ãƒsterreich' and not 'Ã–sterreich'.<div> </div><div>So please help me what I could do in this case? Is it possible to decode the paramter.value before the birt engine do?</div><div>Maybe I could use before render and take the plaintext "<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://localhost:8080/birt43/frameset?__report=report/personal1.rptdesign&NNAME=Österreich'>Österreich</a>", then decode with JS and then put the decoded text into the parameter. Is this possible?</div><div> </div><div>best regards</div><div>rf</div>
