Btw, today I found a new "problem" with accents and CFMX, now related to external
Javascript library files.
If CFMX is serving pages with UTF-8 (the default behaviour) and you have external js
library files saved with the ISO-8859-1 encoding, you may face problems.
Code to reproduce a problem (MSIE 6):
- index.cfm
<html>
<head>
<title>CFMX with external JS</title>
<script language="JavaScript" src="lib.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
<input type="button" value="load" onClick="displayValue();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
- lib.js (save ISO-8859-1 encoded)
var myValue = '�';
function displayValue() {
document.myForm.name.value=myValue;
}
Possible workarounds:
1. save the .js files UTF-8 encoded
2. include <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> in your Application.cfm
3. call the JS library with <script language="JavaScript" src="lib.js"
charset="iso-8859-1"> (HTML 4)
Regards,
Marcello.
