When i save a js file. All special characters are eliminated.

Example:

I wrote the folowing java script function:

function checkdfield(source) {
if (checkDate(source)) {
return true;
} else {

alert(“La date entrée n’est pas valide. Format accepté : jj/mm/aaaa”);
source.value = “”;
}
}

After saving the file and reloading it, i am getting this result:

function checkdfield(source) {
if (checkDate(source)) {
return true;
} else {

alert(“La date entr?e n’est pas valide. Format accept? : jj/mm/aaaa”);
source.value = “”;
}
}

Default encoding for JavaScript editor is US-ASCII, you can navigate to Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Editors > JavaScript and change the encoding to something else.

this problem persists for other file types as well.

also, i don’t have JS editor plugin installed, so there is no menu setting in the preferences to change the encoding!

this is a terrible “feature”! Even poor man’s editors like Windows Notepad or KDE’s Kate will warn you about character-set conversions!

I don’t understand the comment “I don’t have JS editor plugin installed”, if you have MyEclipse installed, it’s part of MyEclipse. Do you have a “MyEclipse” preference panel under Window > Preferences?
