Hi Robert,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. 

1. I am using IE 5.0. The language settings (Encoding) in the browser has been set to "UTF-8", as my application needs to support multiple languages.
    The Japanese characters are getting properly displayed on the browser page, but not on the javascript alert message window.

2. I understand your point, and I belive this might be the case when the javascript encodes the String passed to it in the System dependent character encoding which is different for English and Japanese operating system. I would appreciate if you can guide me how to set character encoding in JavaScript code.

Regards
Rakesh

  There are two immediate things you need to check before we can diagnose the problem:
   
  1) What browser/version are you using? Have you set the language settings in your browser to Japanese? (in IE, View/Encoding/japanese Auto-select)
  2) Have you specified the correct character encoding in the JavaScript code (e.g., Shift-JIS)?
  Kind regards,
