Hello,

i have a app on rails 3.2.1 and i use a jquery lib called jQuery Timelinr 0.9.5: http://www.csslab.cl/2011/08/18/jquery-timelinr/

but, when i use it on a .erb view, i got a error:

Showing /home/carlos.ribeiro/projetos/amarribo/app/views/conheca/historico.html.erb where line #59 raised:

invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

Extracted source (around line #59):

57: 58: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "timeline" %>
59: <%= javascript_include_tag "timeline/jquery.timelinr-0.9.51" %>
60: 61: <script>
62: $(function(){

but when i remove the line 59, the error stop.

Anybody have an idea about it???

thanks.

I’ve used this file

https://github.com/juanbrujo/jQuery-Timelinr/blob/master/js/jquery.timelinr-0.9.5.js

I’ve downloaded it and then in irb did

f = File.read(“/path/to/jquery.timelinr-0.9.5.js”)

f.valid_encoding?

=> true

f.encoding

=> #Encoding:UTF-8

maybe there’s a typo in the file you are using (something like the question in stackoverflow)
