passing arabic parameters

[Fouad Fares]

hello
I'm developping a web application through Jdeveloper 9i.028.
I'm trying to pass parameters from page to page using get method through a javascript.
The values of these parameters are in arabic language.

Once i try to read these values on the second page using the request.getParameter method i receive a garbage values.

Please Note that i try to display the values before sending it to the second page and the output was correct

Plese advise
Thanks in advance.

<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>

in the header of the receiver page

invalid attribute: pageEncoding
and if i ommit that option (pageEncoding="UTF-8") the following error appears :
sun.io.MalformatedInputException
