Going via the original link on the page, I arrive at this URL: http://apache.360solutions.it/js/client/...zienda.php - no squares visible.

Going directly via this link: http://apache.360solutions.it/js/client/...zienda.php - still no squares visible.

Sorry I couldn't be of any more assistance.

Maybe this problem has been fixed in some version of IE, I can see that you have the version 7.0.6001.18, I still had the problem in version 7.0.5730.13.

Maybe i could fix the problem disabling ajax navigation under IE < 7.0.6, but anyway I'll swear against MS if u permit

No more ideas on about how to fix it?

I agree. In a world without walls a fences, who needs Gates and Windows?

Unfortunately, I am all out of ideas. My only suggestion would be for you to try and make a custom controller, view, and library that still gives you the same problem, that we can test for you. Also, I'm still interested to hear if anyone else is having the same problem.

Edit: I'm no expert on character encodings, but would utf-8 encoding not work?

OK, I've solved the problem!!!

Actually the query string encoding/decoding was the solution, but it didn't work the previous time because there's an incompatibility between the php function "urlencode" and the javascript function "decodeURI".

I found this article and substituted the base php "urlencode" function with this modified function, that is compatible with [removed]

And now it works!
Thanx God there are workarounds to Gates and Windows :-)

Thanx for the hints, I have tried again that way because you suggested it

Bye,
Alessio

Do I have to mark this thread as "solved" in some way?

You're not obliged to do so, but it's helpful. You should be able to edit your first post, and modify the title to something like: [SOLVED] Ajax - IE Microsoft.XMLHTTP responseText encoding problem.

Thanks for letting everyone know how you fixed the problem. The annoying thing is I already knew this, but for some reason it never occurred to me.
