Hi, i´m from México, and I have problems with the special characters like:

á, é, í, ó, ú, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, and the Ñ and ñ

The problem is when the dropdown selector choose a State with those characters send me an error message like this: input not autorized

The thing weird is that the countries selector shows fine the characters... but the problems came when the state selector shows the states... they came with simbols, not characters... any ideas?

I understand what you are saying and can verify that this is a problem with the validation routine (regex). I'll post a quick fix for it here shortly for testing purposes then release a new version.

using your cpanel or whatever other means you have to access the files on the server navigate to: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_countryandstatefield and open the countrystatefield.php file.

There are 2 places where validation takes place: once for the selected Country and once for the selected State.

find this line (should be around line 137):

and replace it with:
making sure that the above code is all on a single line.

now continue searching for the same line (should be around line 189) and again replace it with:


Please let me know if this fixed the accented character problem for you and I will release a bug fix version.

i made the changes... but the problem persist... one question. I must change the characters like this á for any special code in the states.js file?

ok ok... i have to use unicode in the javascript file... thankyou very much!!!!
