Accent folding for remote datasource

in Using jQuery UI • 8 years ago

Hello everyone,

On the Autocomplete page of the jQuery UI website there are several examples of applications of the autocomplete script that you might need. The examples titled "Accent folding" and "Remote datasource" are clear to me and I need them both. The problem is that it seems to be challenging to combine these two functions.

Could anyone give me an example of how accent folding is done for autocomplete values in a remote datasource?

Thanks for reading my post!

You should do the accent folding in your server program. You could code your jQuery exactly like the remote datasource example.

Some databases do it for you.

Thanks very much! I was stuck thinking that I should be able to fix it with javascript, but of course it's so much more direct to do this with php. Very helpful.

Accent folding can be OK if you are dealing with a small number of characters. If you try to do that with multiple alphabets, you are re-creating the Unicode character encoding system. It may not be worth your time to re-invent that plumbing. UTF-8 is a universal encoding. It can be a complicated, multi-step process to get some databases configured to UTF-8. Also, everything in all your software has to be UTF-8 configured.

FWIW
