I have a form in which the user enters his name in Chinese, but when I do
String strName = request.getParameter("name");
I get strName as some meaningless characters. As a solution I tried
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
before reading any parameters from the request object. This worked. What I want to know is how do I achieve this in HTML/javascript . I have tried the
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
but this doesn't work . Any help?
