Ajax script encoding problem

Hello. I have the following problem. I have an ajax script that calls a php page. The problem is that results that appear in my page that calls the ajax script is that the greek characters are not shown properly (instead i get some ??). The php page that i call with ajax if i called it directly i can see it in the correct way. I think that the problem is in ajax.

I do sth like the following

http.open("GET", myurl+"&rand="+myRand, true);
//i believe that http must have an attribute for specific encoding but i cannot find which
http.onreadystatechange = useHttp5;
http.send(null);




function useHttp5() {
if (http.readyState == 4) {
if(http.status == 200) {
var mytext = http.responseText;
//if i alert here mytext, it has wrong encoding
document.getElementById('choices').innerHTML = mytext;
document. getElementById('Dresults').innerHTML = "";
}
} else {

document. getElementById('choices').innerHTML = "";
document. getElementById('Dresults').innerHTML = "";
}
}


Thanks

First, you're not a noob, use CODE tags!

Make sure the back-end script is providing UTF-8 characters and the browser is set to display UTF-8 characters.

HTML meta tag

PHP header()


Consider using htmlentities.

Thanks. Problem solved. I had in my php script only the meta tag and not the header. It is ok now!
