eval issues in IE

Question

While running eval() in IE7 if my JSON contains language specific characters like è, its not evalled properly. Is there a way I can change the language settings to make this work?

Answer 1

Have you tried using JSON.parse() from the official JSON library?

Answer 2

I think the problem is in your charset in your html, or probably you're serving the wrong content-type server side:
