IMHO, this has been fixed in 4.0.
Toralf: Can you confirm in which version this appears? can you test it under 4.0?
See bug #14264.
Ok, I could reproduce that in 4.0-CVS and also HEAD, so this is clearly not fixed.
Tested with "forceCharset = utf-8".
Could you please take a look at this? I thought this was solved by your fix in #14264 which is marked as "resolved" (but not closed?).
Testcase is a 4.0 installation with forceCharset = utf-8 and a form like:
Straße: | *f_strasse=input
| formtype_mail=submit | Submit
| subject=hidden | Subject
The result on submitting the form without a filled in "Straße", is that the "ß" is not correctly displayed in the javascript alert.
The problem with the encoding in javascript alerts still appears in version 4.1.5
Testcase: v4.15, Fieldlabels with Umlauts (äöü) and forceCharset = utf-8
Just a note: A fix for the 4.1.x branch would be GREATLY appreciated.
