I''m not sure if this is something in Rails or MySQL, but characters like ? are showing up funky in my app. I see ''?'' in the DB using a query browser, but in the app it shows up as ''A1/4.'' Do I need to use another charset or something? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

That almost worked... It is displaying properly, except when I update a list with an ajax call. In the list, it it still showing as ''A1/4.'' However if I display the list normally (using the list action) it looks ok.

You can set the header manually before rendering the partial :
def update_partial_stuff
...
@headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html;
charset=utf-8"
render :partial => ''foo''
end

Still no joy...I think it''s because I''m using RJS templates to update the list. In my .rjs I tried: @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8" page.insert_html :bottom, ''cardList'', :partial => ''card_chunk_add'' Alain Ravet wrote:> Chris > > > That almost worked...

I think the problem is that RJS changes the content type to text/javascript. If anyone knows how to get around this bug let me know.
