Umlaut characters not working in Firefox

Dear Team,

I have created a page where clicking on a letter will filter out the corrsponding div for that letter from the list of divs in the page. PFB the code sample:

<a href="#register-6749750-Ä">Ä</a>

<table id="register-6749750-Ä" class="searchResults-6749750 aztable ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom">

So if I click on the German Umlaut Ä it should filter the table with ID - register-6749750-Ä. But it is not working in Firefox (Works well with I.E)

Please check if this is an issue in FirstSpirit.

Thanks

Udhay

Dear Udhay,

is the page generated corretly? Then that is probably not a FirstSpirit issue.

Have a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/id:

Using characters except ASCII letters and digits, '_', '-' and '.' may cause compatibility problems, as they weren't allowed in HTML 4.

More infos at W3C:

HTML 4: https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-id

HTML 5: https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#the-id-attribute

Did you tried to replace the umlaut characters (e.g. Ä => Ae) for the id- and href-Attribute?

Regards

Robin
