Web Companion - Code Page Problem ?

[HĄNGeL]

Hi All,
I'm using FM6.0v4 for PC running on WinXP & W2K.
I create a new database with Turkish Carachter set (eg. Arial True Type Font
with Turkish Carachters) in Filemaker Window All Carachters seen correctly
but Share With Web Companion, open database with internet Explorer or
Netscape The Turkish Carachters doesn't seem correctly. How to I solve this
problem ?

Thanks
HĄNGeL

Dear H¡NGeL

I believe this is a browser language setting problem, and I am not sure
whether indeed a different browser setting would help (each user would have
to set it for himherself, if it would help at all). There was a thread about
the same problem some weeks ago, you might be find it via Google.

Hello
You need to set-up IE or Netscape with those Turkish characters.
see characters coding (nestacpe) for that purpose.
thanks

If you are using Instant Web Publishing, I don't think you can at
the server end.

With Custom, you can declare a language as part of the -format files.

OK, a little background... Web browsers decide what language
character set to use based on one of two things. The best
is a content type declaration in the head of the document:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

This one declares English as being the language of the page.

You can also manually set most browsers to alternative text
types - for Turkish, this would be ISO 8859-9. My fairly
ancient version of Netscape Communicator allows this, so newer
browsers should as well.

So, if using Instant Web Publishing, your end users has better
know how to manually change the settings, and what setting to
change them to.

Or you use Custom Publishing and declare the pages correctly
as being Turkish.

And I will now get this answer added to the FAQ.

Thank you for all answers, I solved :), this is not Code Page problem,
FileMaker not support Turkish Characters on the web (this is problem !! ),
if properly view Turkish characters in browers you must use Javascript,
covert codes to characters each side.

Thanks All

Dear H¡NGeL,

could you be a bit more specific about how you solved this with Javascript?
Sounds interesting, and the question has been raised before.

Dear Christoph,
The JavaScript target is change the characters, my problem is; in web
browser type Turkish characters view correctly but in filmaker not correctly
"in typed browser" and in Filemaker, type Turkish character view correctly
but in my browser "this data" not correctly.

Sample of JavaScipt;

<script language=javascript>
function do_convert(value){
var astr = new String(value);
var s, i
for(i=0;i<astr.length;i++){
switch(astr.charAt(i)){
case "&":
s=astr.substring(i, i+6);
switch(s){
case "&#128;":
case "&#240;": document.write("Turkish Character"); break;
};
i=i+5;
break;

default: document.write(astr.charAt(i));
};
};
};
</script>
