I work on a website which is all done in iso-8859-1 encoding using old ASP 3.0. I use Yahoo YQL to request data (XML) from external websites but which I request to be returned as JSON-P (JSON with a callback function so I can retrieve the data).
The problem I am facing is that YQL seems to always return data encoded in utf-8, which is bad for me when I try to display any textual data retrieved from that query. Characters like é, à, ô, 开发者_StackOverflowget gibberished in IE6 & IE7 since the encoding does not match.
Anyone knows how to convert utf-8 data retrieved via JSON-P with YQL to iso-8859-1 and be displayed correctly ?
I already tried that solution, but it does not work. Server side functions are not an option too, ASP 3.0 does not include function such as utf8_decode.
Thank you
I have no idea whether this will work, but here's something you can try if you want.
A <script>
tag can have a charset
attribute specified when referencing a remote JS file. See the theory here. This definitely works for content that is stored inside the JavaScript file and e.g. output using document.write
.
Whether the implicit conversion works for data fetched by a routine defined in that file through JSONP? I have no idea. My guess is, probably not. I can't test it right now but if you do, I'd be very interested in the outcome.
