Late night, late launch

One of these days, I'll launch code when I intend to. Obviously, this is not that time. I think about two weeks ago, I mentioned on Twitter that I was getting ready to launch some code that would fix some bugs, clean stuff up, and add some useful functionality. Two weeks later... I did!

I'm currently working on adding Shadowrun 5e, and in the process, I did what all developers do (and regret doing): "fixed" other pages! I made a few pages, including the "My Characters" page Angular, and I created loading spinners for the Angular pages for when content is loading.

Most of the changes are things you guys won't notice, unless it broke something. And if it did break something, let me know as always and I'll fix it.

Oh, I guess you might notice I changed the input box colors.

The characters page seems to be messed up a bit with regard to special characters (most of these should be é í ő and the like).



All of the other pages seems to handle them correctly though.

Hm... we may be back to the problem we had earlier... I got it working in HTML, but this time its coming in via Javascript. I didn't expect this issue, and I'm definitely well less knowledgeable at Javascript... this'll take some figuring out. Can I get links to some of those for their ID numbers? I'll see if they're in the library as well.

Those names are showing up correctly on the character sheets? And I'm guessing you're not using a standard English language set? I'm trying to recreate some of those names locally to figure out what's wrong, but they encode ok for me. If you edit the characters, so the names look ok in the input fields? If not and you fix them then save, does it fix them?

The names show up everywhere else (that I've seen) correctly. It is only on that page that they get weirded out. If I edit them (nice inline editing feature BTW!) they appear OK, but if I navigate away from the page and go back the get even worse (and then get screwed up in the pulldown "Characters" menu as well).

Apro was fine before the inline edit and there are now even more extra characters in Nyil's and Apro's names.

The I line edit works off the same tech that the My Characters page does, so if one is screwed up, both will be. To confirm, you're not using an English keyboard, right? I'm sorry, I'm really having trouble with encoding...

I'm using a US Mac Keyboard that set in US Extended mode.

Hm... So you're using keyboard codes for the accented characters? I did the same with no luck...

Yep. Alt-E + i, for example, produces í.

Here's an example of the same thing happening in my mail subjects from some time ago. Notice how the number of garbage characters grow each time...

New code in place. Give it a shot.

Thanks. I'll give it a go after work and let you know.

Still a bit off. The old characters (the ones I haven't tried to edit) are OK now, but the two that I tried to edit, now have '?' in place of the accented characters.

Haha, that's unexpected... We're getting closer...

Try again (last time, I hope).

Other than the ő character, everything else appears to be working!

One specific character isn't working...? I... don't understand that.

Weird, innit, but that's the only one that I use that isn't going. The rest, í ó é Ü, all work fine.
