correct but not really the best practice. a BOM isn't actually part of the definition for utf-8. so if you have any other s/w monkeying with your files & it doesn't respect the BOM, bye-bye BOM, hello mojibake. and since you got me started on the subject, it's really a good idea to include cfcontent & setEncoding in the application.cfm (or the blackstone equivalents) and cfprocessingdirective on each page. and it's also still a good idea to provide language & encoding hints via html/meta tags (even though cf ignores these) for dumb as doorknobs spiders, screen readers, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
