While that might have been a typo on your part, it wasn't on mine. I'm suggesting that you use CFSAVECONTENT instead of CFXML, which will let you set the XML declaration however you like, and will avoid any requirement to use ToString, as the variable you create with CFSAVECONTENT will already be a string instead of an XML document object. > Also, I am a little confused on exactly how the <cfcontent > type="text/xml; charset=utf-16"> will work.

Even if you can get a browser to recognize a multipart MIME HTTP response, you couldn't generate it with CF, since response encoding is a characteristic of your page. If you want to encode your XML as UTF-16, have your browser fetch it separately. In these modern times, this is easy enough to do using AJAX. > <!--- Retarted Mozilla thinks white space chars are text nodes. > ---> That is a fair interpretation of how whitespace should be handled. An XML processor cannot simply ignore whitespace within elements, unless your application tells it that the whitespace isn't significant: http://xml.silmaril.ie/authors/whitespace/ Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
