Hi,

I fill-in text in TEXTAREA tag on HTML page, then send its content via
content of XML element parameter sent through WebService function from
JavaScript.

On client side, I can read my text in debugger as:

<Text>=93Omr=E5de=94
=91hj=E4lp=92</Text>

(with literal newline).

On server side, transferred content of XML tag looks as:

<Text>???Omr??de???
???hj??lp???</Text>

(the newline character is displayed in Notepad as single square).

Server side text is then stored to database.

This effect causes:
- differences between client and server texts regarding newline characters;
- loss of national characters.

How and where should I set encoding parameters for Web Service
transmission to overcome these problems ?


Please help.
