Question

In my web app, I submit some form fields with jQuery’s $.getJSON() method. I am having some problems with the encoding. The character-set of my app is charset=ISO-8859-1, but I think these fields are submitted with UTF-8.

How I can set encoding used in $.getJSON calls?

I think that you’ll probably have to use $.ajax() if you want to change the encoding, see the contentType param below (the success and error callbacks assume you have <div id='success'></div> and <div id='error'></div> in the html):

$.ajax({     type: 'POST',     url: 'SomePage.aspx/GetSomeObjects',     contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',     dataType: 'json',     data: '{id: '' + someId + ''}',     success: function(json) {         $('#success').html('json.length=' + json.length);         itemAddCallback(json);     },     error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {         $('#error').html(xhr.responseText);     } }); 

I actually just had to do this about an hour ago, what a coincidence!
