OK, I'm not sure I understand this one correctly, so let me see...
app_OUTPUT.cfm is generating some content which includes HTML tags for
formatting. You want to save this content to something.fnm, and then push
the file to the user where they can save it to their HD. But, when the user
gets the file there should not be any HTML tags left in it... instead the
text should be formatted as per the HTML. Is that right?
If so, you're going to have to handle the HTML rendering yourself, via CF
code. CF doesn't know how to render HTML; that's the responsibility of the
browser. But you're trying to bypass the browser's rendering engine and
save the file straight to disk. If the HTML code is simply some <BR> tags
and some entities, you can render the contents with a couple of
ReplaceNoCase() calls as in:
<cfsavecontent variable="sqlOutput">
<cfinclude template="app_OUTPUT.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>
<CFSET sqlOutput = ReplaceNoCase(sqlOutput, "<BR>", "#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#",
"ALL")>
<CFSET sqlOutput = ReplaceNoCase(sqlOutput, " ", " ", "ALL")>
<cffile action="WRITE"
