[Seaside-dev] Encoding issues? Entering 'euro sign' into a text input breaks render

[John Thornborrow]

Hello all,

I've discussed this briefly before on the list, following my
contribution regarding encoding more characters than what the (X)HTML
spec defines - but did not have an example at the time.

However, I have just stumbled upon a significant problem which I wanted
to raise as an issue to the dev-list; that is that Seasides rendering
does not like the Euro-symbol.

The simplest example:

renderContentOn: html
  html form with: [
    html textInput callback: [ :x | text := x ].
    html paragraph with: text.
    html submitButton
  ]

On the form, enter a Euro symbol (ALT+0128 on Windows) in the text box
and submit.

After submitting, it is very obvious that there is a problem (the screen
will be filled with characters that cannot be rendered.)

Just incase it is something I am doing wrong, I have attached a file-out
of the example component. If anyone could confirm this is a problem/bug
then I shall submit a bug-report, providing it is not already reported :).

However, I've also noticed that the WAEncoder>>initializeBMP does not
reach the range necessary to encode the euro (Character value: 1069555884)

P.S. Tested with the latest version available in Monticello as of today,
and this is on Squeak 32bit 3.10 vm on Windows platform.

Regards,
John
