jQuery and entities.

jQuery and entities.

Hi to all,
Well before I start I wana say that i'm new to this so don't expect much out of me.

My problem is :

When i send info from a form to the database in a textarea box i type caracters like á,í,ó,ú,ñ but in the database they are saved like á,ó,Ã,ú,ñ.
The form i use is the one bellow:




  1.  
       

    Titulo




  2.     
        Descripcion


  3.    
     



  4.    



           
       






More info :
I use .ajaxSubmit() to submit the form.
I use jsp technology to proces the data.
Database: Oracle.

From my tests i can tell that the info is alredy in a bad format when i get it in the jsp file with the command:
  1. value=request.getParameter("titulo");
Well this is my problem if anyone can point me in the right direction or tell me the solution I give thx in advance.

P.S: srr for my bad english.
