Hi All,

I'm under Mozilla 1.4 and the following code fails for UNICODE string :
<script language="JavaScript" charset="Big5" type="text/JavaScript"><!--
var htmldump = '<p>SomeUnicodeSuchAs\uxxxxOr\uyyyyForChinese</p>';
function execute()
{
	if (typeof(self.parent.aframe) != "undefined")
	{
		self.parent.aframe.document.open("text/html");
		self.parent.aframe.document.writeln(unescape(htmldump));
		self.parent.aframe.document.write();
		self.parent.aframe.document.close();
	}
}
//--></script>

Same problem for Big5 encoding such as :
var htmldump = 'SomeBigSuchAs<p>??????</p>';

The same code works under Internet Explorer 5+.

I've checked forums and bugzilla.mozilla.org but I can't find out if it's a known issue.

Could you help ?

Thanks a lot.
JZ
