Question considering character encoding

Question considering character encoding

Hey all,

I'm fairly new here so first of all: hello all :)

I've been using jQuery for quite some time now and today I've come across something I can't figure out.

The website I'm managing uses the character set "Windows-1252" and this has never been any issue. However, when I try to send a request using jQuery's AJAX method it seems my response header is using UTF-8.

I've tried the following two methods without any luck:

  1. jQuery.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          ajaxGridOptions: { contentType: 'text/html; charset=windows-1252' },
          ...
    });



  2. jQuery.ajaxSetup({
          scriptCharset: "windows-1252",
          contentType: "text/html;" 
    });


Any help is greatly appreciated.
