I have a similar problem with pund signs being displayed as Hashes, but have traced this down to being Explorer 5+ on Win2K. Check the source of the HTML and see what is being output.
If you change the encoding in Explorer (View - Encoding - Western European (Windows)), does this make a difference? My only fix for this is to replace � with &pund; in CF. paddy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russ 'Snake' Michaels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 12:55 PM Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] character conversion > It happens on CF5 for me. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Douglas Humphris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 28 August 2002 12:51 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] character conversion > > > Here are the results of your test using my CFMX server: > > $%�?£ > £10million > > looks like I might have found a CFMX bug! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Justin MacCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 28 August 2002 12:47 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] character conversion > > > Hi what version of CF? > > This works fine for me in CF5 > > > step1.cfm > ------------------ > <form action="step2.cfm" method="post"> > <input type="Text" name="x1" size="30" value="$%�"> > <input type="submit" value="post"> > </form> > > > step2.cfm > ------------------ > <cfoutput> > <form action="step3.cfm" method="post"> > <input type="hidden" value="#form.x1#" name="x1"> > <input type="text" value="" name="x2"> > <input type="submit" value="post"> > </form> > </cfoutput> > > step3.cfm > ------------------ > <cfoutput> > #form.x1#<br> > #form.x2#<br> > </cfoutput> > > Are you using a DB at all? > > > Regards > Justin > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Douglas Humphris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 12:31 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [ cf-dev ] character conversion > > > > > > this feels like a stupid question with an obvious answer...but > > I'm submitting form data which includes a pound sign.
