Unicode

[WilsonOfCanada]

Hellos,

I have a problem with strings converting to unicode that is in a
function.

var list_provinces = ['\\u82F1\\u5C6C','\\u54E5\\u5025']

for (loopCounter=0;loopCounter<(list_provinces.length);loopCounter++)
{

var province = document.createElement('option');

province.text = list_provinces[loopCounter];
province.value = list_provinces[loopCounter];

if (loopCounter == 0)
{
province.selected = "selected";
}

try
{
menuProvince.add(province, null);
}

catch(ex)
{
menuProvince.add(province);
}
}

However, when my list shows up, it only shows

\u82F1\u5C6C
\u54E5\u5025

Thanks

That is correct (as you have it programmed). In a string literal the
backslash is the escaping character. To include a literal backslash in
a sting literal you need to escape the backslash by preceding it with
a backslash, which is precisely what you have done above. However, it
looks like you wanted backslashes to mark the beginning of unicode
escape sequences (rather than for literal backslashes to appear in the
string), in which case you should not have escaped the backslashes.

Thanks for the reply,

however, it is sent like that as a template from python which the '//'
are automatic.

There are backslashes, not forward slashes, right? And if the server-side
Python script generates wrong escape sequences for this client-side
ECMAScript script, it would obviously be best to fix the server-side Python
script. (BTDT)
