Tech:EditListing script fails on non-ASCII characters in some fields
From Wikitravel Shared
Contents
[edit] What happens / When it happens
The editListing javascript function fails with the error message "Listing has been changed by somebody else. Please reload the page and reedit" with non-ASCII characters in the "alt" field. The same entries become editable again solely by removing the non-ASCII portion of that field.
[edit] When it happens
Whenever using the edit script on affected entries. Current example: en:Okayama#See - the first two entries are uneditable at this time, while the remainder of the See entries (none of which have non-ASCII text in alt) are editable as normal.
[edit] What should happen
Edit popup should operate with all accepted character sets.
[edit] How to fix it
[edit] Additional comments
Identified at en:Talk:Okayama#Technical_Problem. I have not tested fields besides alt.
