Problems with accent marks

Question

Take a look at this simple javascript code fragment:

s = l.replace("à","a");

s = l.replace("è","e");

s = l.replace("é","e");

s = l.replace("ì","i");

s = l.replace("ò","o");

s = l.replace("ù","u");

After the last update of Dreamweaver (2017.0.1) the same fagment in the browser page turns into

s = l.replace("Ã ","a");

s = l.replace("Ã¨","e");

s = l.replace("Ã©","e");

s = l.replace("Ã¬","i");

s = l.replace("Ã²","o");

s = l.replace("Ã¹","u");

Where am i wrong?

I tried changing the page properties, but nothing, everything remains the same.

The only way is to save the page with notepad with ANSI encode. However if i open with dreamweaver, dreamweaver doesn't respect the new page encode and the error comes back again.

Any help?

I'm not sure then because when I look at the browsers source code with the utf-8 meta tag I get this:

s = l.replace("à","a");

s = l.replace("è","e");

s = l.replace("é","e");

s = l.replace("ì","i");

s = l.replace("ò","o");

s = l.replace("ù","u");

If the meta tag is not present I get this, which is what you are seeing:

s = l.replace("Ã ","a");

s = l.replace("Ã¨","e");

s = l.replace("Ã¬","i");

s = l.replace("Ã²","o");

s = l.replace("Ã¹","u");

Do you have an actual live page which includes your script which you can link us to?

I understood!

Above the html and javascript code there is some rows with VB.NET code. If i remove VB code everything works.

Everyday there is something new.

Does this happen in a real browser when you view the source code or are you use the live preview browser in Dreamweaver when this happens?
