Jquery ignores encoding ISO-8859-1

by

Because I had the same problem, I’ll provide a solution that worked for me. Background: Microsoft Excel is too stupid to export a CSV-File in charset UTF-8:

$.ajax({
    url: '...',
    contentType: 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1',
    // This is the imporant part!!!
    beforeSend: function(jqXHR) {
        jqXHR.overrideMimeType('text/html;charset=iso-8859-1');
    }
});
