Ajax dynamic dropdown in iexplorer with accented characters

I unfortunately found out too late a problem with the dynamic dropdown when some of the selection text contains a "special" character as à è and so on.

Everything works perfectly in firefox and chrome. But Internet Explorer sends to the server a wrong text string, say instead of baccalà, it sends baccal?

The site uses utf8 as character set so I would expect explorer to conform to that.

I searched the forum and googled to find a solution but I found nothing of interest.

Any suggestion?

Thank you

Hi maxx,

I've not come across this before and don't have a good solution :-( Maybe adding some JavaScript to urlencode the values in the query string? Or to check exactly what is being sent and try to decode it on receipt ??? Sorry not to be more helpful.
