Hi Guys,
I keep running into
a problem that has driven me mad for a while now. I think it has to do with the
formatting of text within a text box.
I can't get special characters to display consistently. for example. If I cut and paste text out of MSWord it will change all special characters into ?'s when cold fusion pulls this in to a web page. So now whenever I use an admin module I always enter special characters as code e.g. the copyright symbol as ©

There are a few
problems with this solution though. The major one is that when I edit a
given section, all of the code for special characters get lost and they
instead are displayed as the actual character. As a result if I hit submit all
of those characters get converted to ?'s. To deal with that, I have to
cut and paste all of my content code in to a code editor, then find
and replace all of the special characters with code again.
@#@&&@*!!!!
Obviously, this is not an good solution for clients who only only know how to cut and paste using MSWord.
Is there some sort of text formatting thing that I'm missing in SQL or in the form field that will fix this?
