I've been looking around at all the people who have asked this question, but have yet to find an answer that works for me. Basically, I'm updating a div from an external HTML file that contians characters like é. For some reason, whenever the call gets made the characters are stripped out and replaced with question marks.
I've tried both documents encoded UTF-8 and ISO, but to no avail. I've even converted all the characters to their HTML equivalents (é), and it still doesn't work. Strangely, some of the quotation marks are also failing, but some aren't — even in adjoining divs.
Any help? Please bear in mind I'm fairly n00bish with JS, so any short, curt explanation will be followed up with repeated questions. Thanks for the help.
