Summernote strange characters when copying / pasting

hi Patrick, so the only way i was able to get this to not upload these characters was by removing the Server Connect action from the form submission.

i had to create a push page that applied the database update from the form request seperately.

Each time i tried to apply the server action back to the form submission, it would then upload those odd characters.

Is there something in the api applications that would cause this to occur?

Its obviously not coming form the form or the text area submission, as those are clean when updated.

let me know your thoughts and if there is something i could check.

Does it make a difference when you do a normal form post to the server action instead of an ajax submit? I don’t think it has something to do with the form or the ajax submit, but instead with the encoding in which the server action is handling the data. We use JScript in our ASP code and I don’t think we set any encoding, so it should use the encoding set with IIS.

forgive me, but i am not sure how to differentiate or change a server action. When i choose the post for the server action it doesn’t give me any other options. How can i check and/or change that to see?

Your database need to be using utf-8 encoding (utf8_general_ci collation)
