Unescape German umlaut (send via JavaScript) in Controller

[a***@public.gmane.org]

Hi,

I'm really new to Plyons and I'd like to know how to unesapce German
umlaute in a controller, that have been escaped by JavaScript's escape-
function (I use YUI as explained here: http://yuiblog.com/blog/2008/10/27/datatable-260-part-two/).

I've tried a lot of urllib-unqouting and utf-8 decoding, but nothing
helped. I always end up having chars as � or python decoding errors.

Perhaps someone has got a solution to this problem?

First, make sure you're working with the same encoding everywhere,
i.e. utf-8 (very recommanded).

Second, python unicode != utf-8

Thanks a lot.

Replacing JavaScript's escape-function with it's function
encodeURIComponent seems to have solved my problem.
