[Suresh Reddy Puli]

I need help to get javascript alert message to be displayed in russian language in an html page. The code for the message in my properties files is Банки which is means "Banks" in english.
Kindly help me know the code for getting this done.

One way to use a message from your properties file in a JavaScript alert would be to create a global JavaScript variable in your JSP like this:

<script>
var g_errorMessage = '<bean:message key="error.key" />';
</script>

When the page is rendered, the g_errorMessage field will contain the value of the message in the language of the user's current locale.

Then, when you're ready to display the message, just write:

alert(g_errorMessage);

Try putting the following at the beginning of your JSP:
<%@ page
language="java"
contentType="text/html; charset=windows-1251"
pageEncoding="windows-1251"
%>
