I am sending UTF-8, japanese text, to my server. It works in Firefox. My access.log and headers are:
/ajax/?q=%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97
Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Howeer, in IE8, my access.log says:
/ajax/?q=??
For some reason, IE8 is turning my AJAX call into question marks. Why!? I added the scriptCharset and ContentType according to some tutorials, but still no luck.
And this is my code:
$.ajax({
method:"get",
url:"/ajax/",
scriptCharset: "utf-8" ,
contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
data:"q="+query ...,
...
})
