why not use utf-8? guess it depends on your input forms

Quick update - just in case anyone else ever runs into this problem.  Again, just to restate quickly - say you have a German name with the double dots over the "u" or you have a spanish name with the ~ over the "n" or something like that, it was breaking my xml.  To fix it I just needed to put this declaration at the top of the xml document:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

Subject: XML Formatting in CF5 question

Hello everyone,

 

I've got an aggravating situation.  We're using CF5 and I'm doing some AJAX interfaces.  My problem is, we have international users that have unicode characters such as o acutes and various other flavors of invalid xml characters...Do any of you know of a way either in XML or in CF5 to escape the characters that will cause the XML to be invalid? 

 

Also, so you know, the values that are causing problems are attributes and not text values in-between the tags...for instance:

 

<person fName="invalidCharacterShowsUpHere" />

 

CDATA won't solve my problem and I'm running out of ideas.

 

Any help would be awesome!

 

Thanks,

 

Allen
