I hope the subject doesn't get escaped, but I'll try to clarify here...
I have:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
in my head (and yes, I need to keep it UTF-8...)
But I have JavaScript (external file), that creates a node, and inserts
text in it...
foo.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Hello World'));
This works fine, as long as the characters are "normal"... if I try and
add a chevron («)for example, it won't work, no matter how I escape
it.
I can however, copy another node's value (rendered elsewhere on the
page), and insert it, and it works fine.
Long story short, other than my "hacky" solution above, how do I do
this?
I've attached some sample files below (again, I hope they don't get
escaped)...
Cheers,
Steve
