Ah ah, j'ai eu ce probl�me-l� moi aussi mon vieux !
I suppose you are under CFMX, or that you recently moved to CFMX?
The problem is that CFMX is now forcing all text to be UTF-8.
I know it is a real plus, but for us using only European languages for
which ISO-8859-whatever was perfectly doing the job, it is a PITA.
The solutions:
1� use an editor able to create files in UTF-8, and convert all your existing
files in UTF-8
(This was suggested here by someone else, so please don't shoot me ;-)
2� add this in your Application.cfm:
<CFSET CFversion = listGetAt(server.coldfusion.productVersion, 1)>
<CFIF CFversion GT 5>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<cfset setEncoding("url","ISO-8859-1")>
<cfset setEncoding("form","ISO-8859-1")>
</CFIF>
(the test for the version is not mandatory, especially if you have the same
version on your development and production server.)
I take the opportunity here first to thank the person who gave me the trick,
secondly to express my anger at MM who didn't put this UTF-8 behavior as an
option in the CF administrator, and designed it so the new version is not
compatible with the previous by default.
