Hello !

I would like to use Japanese messages in the pop up that is shown
whenever you use the overlib for the javascript.

I assume that javascript that is used to show this pop up uses UTF-8
for the internal execution

The Japanese messages which I use is EUC-JP.

I would like to know where should I modify the source code in order
to implement this.
Do I need to add a special tag?

It would be a great help if I could get an advice with this.

Thank you!

Do not use overlib.js, it is truly awful stuff. The author seems to
think that only global variables need to be declared (and declares
over 100 of them), seems unaware that local variables exist, uses
browser detection and statements like:

...if (eval('o3_frame.'+docRoot)&&eval("typeof o3_frame."+docRoot...

that should scare you way for good.

Javascript it not the issue, it will simply insert whatever you tell
it to.

I think you should ask that in a forum dedicated to overlib.

That is highly unlikely, given the lack of minimum clue of overlib's author
and the fact that ECMAScript implementations use UTF-16LE internally.

That should not matter as long as both script resource and HTML document
resource are encoded so.

You should use the matching encoding, and declare it in the Content-Type
header of both resources.

No.
