UTF-8 and mutated vowels?

[Mierscheid]

Hi there!

Is timeline-setter still in development? I have an issue with german mutated vowels. They are broken (Libre Office, UTF-8, OSX 10.8.5).

I'm also interested in a range of events, as you advised on your roadmap. :-)

Kind Regards
Mierscheid

Hi!

We're still maintaining this yes, do you have a sample of the problem
data? One thing you might need to do is make sure your webserver is
serving utf-8. The easiest way is with a meta tag:

One other thing to note: javascript natively encodes strings with UCS2,
so that can also lead to strange edgecases.

Hi Jeff,

thanks for the quick reply.
Here is an sample installation on my webspace:
http://tote-pixel.de/timeline/timeline.html#-3322083600000-Die

Joomla uses UTF-8 on this webspace, therefore I guess UTF-8 its activated. :-)

BTW: For all who may concern:
I have several events without a specific date or with a unspecific range.
This is a very good example:
http://tote-pixel.de/timeline/timeline.html#-2761347600000-Herman
Workaround:
I used as "date" the "Jun. 31, XXXX ".
It's an date that does'nt exists - a perfect placeholder. :-)
Timeline-Setter does not verify the dates, it's very useful in this case. :-)
As "display_date" I used the DIN 5008-format for Germany – or the year, range, whatever.

Regards
Michael
