Hello
I have problem with french character in AJAX response. When I fetch the result using ajax the response looks like ¿a marche d¿j¿? . But without ajax it shows the original data as ça marche déjà? . How can I solve the issue?

It looks like a character set issue. Are you encoding the the string in PHP before returning it via AJAX? Look at http://www.php.net/htmlentities and pass your string through it before returning it. That way it will be (hopefully) character set independent.

It is partially working. When I use htmlentities, it shows all the html elements in the data. Suppose my data is "<div class="test">ça marche déjà?</div>" , I want to show only " ça marche déjà? ".

Upon looking at your profile, I see that out of the last dozen questions you've closed, you have deleted 5, and given 3 grades of "C", which is the worst possible grade you can give your colleagues at EE, where the "default" grade is "A" and your only real option is to mark the grade down to punish sloppy or uncooperative members.
I had not seen your post showing the HTML and the part about HTMLEntities(), but that, as you see, is not really the answer. The appropriate use of HTMLEntities() would be determined by what you want to send to the browser. If you want to send the HTML for use as markup, you would not use HTMLEntities(). If the data is from an external (tainted) source you would use strip_tags() to remove the HTML and/or HTMLEntities() to display the HTML. Neither approach will have anything to do with the character set collision.

The asker must justify giving a C grade and give the experts an opportunity to improve it.So why did you give this grade?
