Re: [Xsltforms-support] Charset problem (+ bug found)

[Grégoire C. <gco...@gm...>]

Ok,

I found another bug in "xsltforms.js". In "XFSubmission.toUrl_", you have :

    if (!hasChilds && val.length > 0) {
        url += node.nodeName + '=' + escape(val) + separator;
    }

but the escape() function works only with ASCII characters. So if the XForms
is in UTF-8, a GET request will pass the model as ISO.

Solution is to use encodeURIComponent() instead of escape() :

        url += node.nodeName + '=' + encodeURIComponent(val) + separator;

Now the strings are encoded correctly.

Regards,
Grégoire
