Hi, It returns the same string as toString(), see following result
<html> <header> <title>my title</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://development.internet/framework/_resource/style/form.css"; type="text/css"> </header> <body> <breadcrumb> <a HREF="/fusionmxnet/">Fusion MX</a><a HREF="/fusionmxnet/system/">System</a> </breadcrumb> </body> </html> Notice the link element.. Once again - the document is valid before calling xmlToString() Its driving me nuts.. Its like it knows it needs to convert to html (while that's not what I want) Taco Fleur > -----Original Message----- > From: Jamie Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 17 December 2004 8:08 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: toString() generates invalid xml > > > I don't know if this helps or not, but here's an interal KB > we have on a ToString/XML bug: > > CFMX function toString() outputs null when attempting to > output a XML document created with the <cfxml> tag. > > Example:<cfxml variable="ticker"> <xmlticker> > <cfoutput > <tickeritem><headline> > #XMLFormat(Trim(tempText))# </headline> > <link> #XMLFormat(Trim(tempLink))# > </link></tickeritem> </cfoutput> </xmlticker> </cfxml> > <!--- this will output null when sandbox security is enabled > ---><cfoutput>ToString Result: #ToString(ticker)#</cfoutput> > The preceding toString() function outputs null or an empty string. > > Answer/Solution: > The following solution was found on Macromedia's forums.
