Thanks Dinner. I found this page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000352.htm
Which confirms some of what you said. It appears that cfprocessingdirective only applies if I am returning an entire page of nothing but xml and want the encoding of the whole page to be modified. I am just creating a variable with cfxml. They also show using cfsavecontent, but I'm a but confused, because even if you do that it appears you can't get away from using the replace function to replace UTF-8 with whatever you want, which to me is about the lamest thing I could imagine. Here is what is says: "To convert an XML document object back into a string, use the ToString function, at which time ColdFusion automatically prepends the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> XML declaration" .... So apparently I have NO CHOICE OR CONTROL over the encoding of my xml doc at the time of its creation. (Why can't you just do <cfxml encoding="utf-16"... ?) "To change the declaration to specify another encoding, use the Replace function.... <cfset mynewvar=replace(myvar, "UTF-8", "utf-16")>" .... WTF, over? What if my xml string happens to contain the name of an encoding type within it and I DON'T want it to be replaced? Even in their example using cfxml wrapped in a cfsavecontent, they STILL do the replace(). That just doesn't seem right. I want my money back. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Dinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 7:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: setting xml encoding <cfcontent type="text/xml charset=UTF-16"> Or <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="UTF-16" /> I think.
