I have a form for the user to fill out and submit. If the user does not supply all of the required information a red box with details about the missing information is shown to the user. The problem is that these error messages are escaped in Rails code so the french accents are not being shown. Just the Unicode for the french accents as shown in the attachment to this topic. I am using UTF-8 for the website. The accents work on other parts of the site. I do not escape using the h helper function or the accents just don''t show. Any help on how to get the accents to show in the error messages? Thanks in advance Mitchell Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/4967/Picture_1.png -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
