Page encoding and Jquery-Ui (ajax tabs)

Question

I am developing a web application and I'm forced to use:

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

as a character encoding. I'm trying to use Jquery-ui to make some beautified tabs, but I cannot manage to get the correct encoding.

I tried this:

$("#tabs").tabs({ ajaxOptions: { contentType: "text/html; charset=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" } });

but with no luck. Does anybody have any clue on this one?

Thanks

Answer 1

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS is not a valid content type charset. It's just how the collation is called for your RDBMS. You need to find the respective valid charset name.

Answer 2

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS is the collation for 1251 codepage (CP1 - 1251, CI - case insensitive, AS - accent sensitive). So as your content type you should use

"text/html; charset=windows-1252"
