Hello, I have been making an artist portfolio and tried using flash slider that displays titles of the images in html (using java script, I think). But it doesn’t seem to respond to french at all. Here is the link: http://www.francescapenserini.com if you go to works / ouevres, and open the page source you’ll see the kind of code that I have been using. Everything is in English now, simply cause I cannot manage to work it out in French. I’d pay someone to fix this issue for me.

Thanks Alimdar

Depending on the context, if HTML entities don’t work, particularly in Javascript strings, accented characted may be resolved by using the octal notation. Sometimes, two (2) following backslashes may be needed.

I use this PERL script (with BBedit) to do the job :

!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $i = 0; while(<>) { $i++; $line = $_; $line =~ s/á/\\341/g; $line =~ s/à/\\340/g; $line =~ s/â/\\342/g; $line =~ s/ä/\\344/g; $line =~ s/ã/\\343/g; $line =~ s/å/\\345/g; $line =~ s/ç/\\347/g; $line =~ s/é/\\351/g; $line =~ s/è/\\350/g; $line =~ s/ê/\\352/g; $line =~ s/ë/\\353/g; $line =~ s/í/\\355/g; $line =~ s/ì/\\354/g; $line =~ s/î/\\356/g; $line =~ s/ï/\\357/g; $line =~ s/ñ/\\361/g; $line =~ s/ó/\\363/g; $line =~ s/ò/\\362/g; $line =~ s/ô/\\364/g; $line =~ s/ö/\\366/g; $line =~ s/õ/\\365/g; $line =~ s/ø/\\370/g; $line =~ s/ú/\\372/g; $line =~ s/ù/\\371/g; $line =~ s/û/\\373/g; $line =~ s/ü/\\374/g; $line =~ s/ÿ/\\375/g; $line =~ s/Á/\\301/g; $line =~ s/À/\\300/g; $line =~ s/Â/\\302/g; $line =~ s/Ã/\\303/g; $line =~ s/Ä/\\304/g; $line =~ s/Å/\\305/g; $line =~ s/Ç/\\307/g; $line =~ s/É/\\312/g; $line =~ s/È/\\311/g; $line =~ s/Ê/\\312/g; $line =~ s/Ë/\\313/g; $line =~ s/Í/\\315/g; $line =~ s/Ì/\\314/g; $line =~ s/Î/\\316/g; $line =~ s/Ï/\\317/g; $line =~ s/Ñ/\\321/g; $line =~ s/Ó/\\323/g; $line =~ s/Ò/\\322/g; $line =~ s/Ô/\\324/g; $line =~ s/Õ/\\325/g; $line =~ s/Ö/\\326/g; $line =~ s/Ø/\\330/g; $line =~ s/Ú/\\332/g; $line =~ s/Ù/\\331/g; $line =~ s/Û/\\333/g; $line =~ s/Ü/\\334/g; $line =~ s/Ÿ/\\355/g; $line =~ s/Æ/\\306/g; $line =~ s/æ/\\346/g; $line =~ s/Œ/\\214/g; $line =~ s/œ/\\234/g; $line =~ s/ß/\\337/g; $line =~ s/¿/\\277/g; $line =~ s/¡/\\241/g; $line =~ s/ /\\240/g; print $line; }

There may be a more elegant way to do it somewhere ! Hope this will help you

Do you know when you hover over the “Texte” link in the navigation it changes to “text”?

I’m brazilian and I always have problems with accents…

Try these 2 steps: 1. put in you html head : “ “

2. Save your html file in UTF8 format (withou BOM ).

If you don’t know how to save as UFT8 , open your file with NotePad++, go to “formmat” and then “Convert to UTF -8 without BOM ”.
