We developed a jsp/miscrosoft access web application. The application works fine, except Chinese characters retrieved from the database do not display properly, i.e., they show up as “?????. We are looking for help on this issue.
we use javascript to display the value of sQuestions, which contains Chinese characters retrieved from the database, in the input control:
---javascript snippet---
var sQuestions;
sQuestions="<%=sQuestions %>";
document.quiz.question.value=sQuestions;
---javascript snippet---
