Problems with åäö
Created by: TorstenEriksson
The database seems to contain utf-8 characters. When using <!doctype html> i.e. html5, there seem to be problems, and in forms the text just disappears when characters like åäö are present. Data is saved correctly.
When I switch back to the old html 4.0 doctype, it is fine as long as no htmlentities() is used in the form. Displaying raw database data in the form works fine.
This has to be understood and handled properly and in the same way throughout.
