      ... Further, it believes this string and the one from get_element_value (that prints as élan) are equal. This makes no sense to me...

      I create this confusion... I don't check for equality it's a 'puts', it should be

          @dlg2.execute_script("translation3.textContent='#{param_val}' + ' == ' + '#{elm_val}' + ' is ' + '#{param_val == elm_val}'")
      > 
      

      which returns
      √©lan == élan is false

      sorry I'll get my coat...

      Nah, I should know enough to check your code 😳 . With a real test, equality fails in all cases (as it should!).

        it's the tangents that count...

        now you can write a proper test...

          The text that displays in your test, says UFT-8 in many places. It is UTF-8.
          (The word format is at the end, of Unicode Transformation Format.)

          (nag, nag) 😉

          I'm not here much anymore.

            But in 2014, the original 5-byte UTF-8 string is somehow transmuted into the 8-byte string \xE2\x88\x9A\xC2\xA9lan. ... It's as if the callback processing code has an incorrect implementation of the transcoding.

            YES, agree.

            To me it looks like it IS UTF-8, but Ruby thinks it is some other encoding, and doubly transcodes* it into UTF-8 AGAIN.

            • P.S. - isn't transmute a math term ?

              except, get_element_value fails pre v2013 and get_element_value works.

              ? It does? Are you sure?

                That's a similar problem we have with FILE $LOAD_PATH, $LOADED_FEATURES and ENV. UTF-8 byte sequences isn't labeled with the correct encoding.

                      a CLUE perhaps...

                      Using js codepoints for my input, 'get_element_value' has switched all the separators...

                      return using add_action_callback "lid1,/uD83D/uDC7D/u20AC/u00A3/u0061/u0009"
                      return using get_element_value => \uD83D\uDC7D\u20AC\u00A3\u0061\u0009
                      

                      so I modified my code

                        @dlg2.add_action_callback("trans_L8") {|dialog, params|
                      
                          param_id = params.split(',')[0].to_s
                          param_val = params.split(',')[1].to_s
                          param_val_sub = params.split(',')[1].gsub('/','\\').to_s
                      p param_val_sub
                          callback = 'return using add_action_callback ' # + param_id.to_s + ' = ' + param_val.to_s # commented out to avoid the error
                          puts callback
                          p(params)
                      
                          elm_val = (@dlg2.get_element_value(param_id)).to_s
                          element_value = 'return using get_element_value => ' + elm_val
                          puts element_value
                      
                          @dlg2.execute_script("translation1.textContent='#{elm_val}'")
                      
                          @dlg2.execute_script("translation2.textContent='#{param_val}'")
                      
                          @dlg2.execute_script("translation3.textContent='#{param_val_sub}'")
                      }
                      

                      and this is the result
                      using js codepoints

                        So it seems there are in-fact two issues...

                        1: return having separators reversed

                        2: encoding being mis-read

                        I added the .gsub('/','\\') to both types of return, so it works on v8 or v13/v14

                        I added js to convert the string to UNICODE on keydown, before it retrieved by SU...

                        and the full workaround...v8 fixed get_element_value and encodingv14 fixed action_callback  and encoding

                        BIG question is will this work on other PC's, or would I need a platform conditional?

                        In review,
                        I think the http header has the incorrect encoding and as SU is the server it must come from there...
                        The internal 'separator' variations is still a mystery...

                          ... and a question? Is there code to get the Windows operating system details?

                          Get the default system Encoding:
                          Encoding::find("filesystem")
                          or
                          Encoding::find("locale")

                          (On my machine it returns the #<Encoding:Windows-1252> object reference.)

                          If you want the Windows version:
                          %x[ver]

                          On my machine it returns: "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]"
                          XP is 5.1
                          Vista is 6.0
                          Win7 is 6.1

                          What else do you want to know ?

                            does my last script run on your PC?
                            if swap these in, can you show me a screen shot?
                            a more complex input...

                              @lang_hash = {'lid1'=> %Q(élan 勢い Schwung импульс)}  # I'm using a hash because it's what I use in my plugin...
                            

                            and the widows versioning...

                                <p>Tested on #{RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(darwin)/ ? ((%x(sw_vers).sub(/ProductName;/,'').sub(/ProductVersion;/,'').sub(/BuildVersion;/,'_'))) ; %x[ver]}</p>
                            

                            also, did you try it without the fix? did you get both returns on v2014?

                              I had not actually run the code at all, before.
                              Here goes:

                              @driven said:

                              ..., did you try it without the fix? did you get both returns on v2014?

                              On SU2014, without the fix:
                              WebDialog_param_encoding_bug.png
                              load "test/WebDialog_param_encoding_bug.rb" %(#004000)[true return using add_action_callback lid1 = élan return using get_element_value => élan]

                              • After hitting return the elements are NOT replaced in the WebDialog because %(#8000BF)[element.textContent=] does not work on MSIE.
                                You need a platform code branch and use %(#8000BF)[element.innerText=] on PC.

                              On SU2014, WITH the fix, AFTER hitting return:
                              WebDialog_param_encoding_fix.png
                              load "test/WebDialog_param_encoding_fix.rb" %(#004000)[true return using add_action_callback "lid1,\\u00E9lan \\uF8FF \\u00FCmlet" return using get_element_value => \u00E9lan \uF8FF \u00FCmlet]


                              First setting:
                              Encoding::default_internal="UTF-8" %(#404000)[UTF-8]
                              .. has not effect (no difference.)

                              I'm not here much anymore.

                                With the two changes on SU2014.

                                Before hitting ENTER:
                                WebDialog_param_encoding_fix2_before_enter.png

                                .. but when I click in the text control, and hit the END key, the ruby console shows:
                                %(#004000)[return using add_action_callback "lid1,\xC3\xA9lan \xE5\x8B\xA2\xE3\x81\x84 Schwung \xD0\xB8\xD0\xBC\xD0\xBF\xD1\x83\xD0\xBB\xD1\x8C\xD1\x81" return using get_element_value => élan 勢い Schwung импульс]


                                After hitting ENTER:
                                WebDialog_param_encoding_fix2_after_enter.png

                                .. and then the Ruby console shows:
                                %(#004000)[return using add_action_callback "lid1,\\u00E9lan \\u52E2\\u3044 Schwung \\u0438\\u043C\\u043F\\u0443\\u043B\\u044C\\u0441" return using get_element_value => \u00E9lan \u52E2\u3044 Schwung \u0438\u043C\u043F\u0443\u043B\u044C\u0441]

                                ❓

                                  innerText works on mac, so I'll just change that...

                                  can you run with the tweak...
                                  and see if they show in the dialog...

                                  the extra // in your console return confuses me. I had to add more to escape ruby escaping javascript...

                                    OK, that latest tweek, after hitting enter:
                                    WebDialog_param_encoding_fix3_after_enter.png

                                    And the console, after hitting enter:
                                    %(#004000)[load "test/show_encoding_issue.rb" true return using add_action_callback "lid1,\\u00E9lan \\u52E2\\u3044 Schwung \\u0438\\u043C\\u043F\\u0443\\u043B\\u044C\\u0441" return using get_element_value => \u00E9lan \u52E2\u3044 Schwung \u0438\u043C\u043F\u0443\u043B\u044C\u0441]

                                    BTW.. if the WebDialog has focus after hitting ENTER, and I need to use the ALT key (for ALT+PrintScreen to copy the active window image to the clipboard, so I can save it from Paint.NET,) there is a whole bunch of repeated console output, like 15 times while I held the ALT key down.

                                      with this should I just add a screen grab and dump it to desktop?

                                      auto acquired image...

                                        NO.

                                        Replace the %(#8000BF)[onkeydown=] with:
                                        %(#8000BF)[onkeyup=" if (event.keyCode == 13) { this.value=unicodeLiteral(this.value); trans_L8(); }"]

                                        Notice that I enclose BOTH the following statements within a "curly block", so that the test only fires when ENTER key is released (after being pressed.)
                                        The condition will not even be tested while any key is down, including any modifier key.

                                          I'm not here much anymore.
