form.submit() with JQuery returns character encoding error message

I'd like to submit a form with jQuery but it doesn't work. I get this strange error message in Firebug (in German, sorry) and assume there is some strange character in the html?

Die Zeichenkodierung des Reintext-Dokuments wurde nicht deklariert. Das Dokument wird in manchen Browser-Konfigurationen mit verstümmeltem Text dargestellt, wenn das Dokument Zeichen außerhalb des US-ASCII-Bereichs enthält. Die Zeichenkodierung der Seite muss im Transferprotokoll deklariert werden oder die Datei muss eine Byte-Order-Markierung als Kodierungssignatur verwenden.

Google translate says:

The character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document is in some browser configurations shown with garbled text when the document contains characters outside the US-ASCII range. The encoding of the page must be declared in the transfer protocol, or use the file must be a Byte Order Mark as encoding signature

I had same issue and after few hours of investigating I have noticed that the reason was same path for HTTP Handler and for template.

So basically you cannot register HTTP handler in httpHandlers section in your config:

<add verb="POST" path="myHandler.aspx" type="MyProject.HttpHandlers.MyHttpHandler"/>

when you use some template named myHandler.aspx. That error was thrown after I have submitted form even that I haven't called in that place my handler.

You obviously have a character encoding problem. Try re-saving the offending HTML document in an editor that lets you specify character encoding. Save the HTML file in UTF-8 to be safe.

You can also specify UTF-8 encoding with a meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

or in HTML5:

<meta charset="utf-8" />
