This is an old thread but here are some tips for the benefit of those who generate SVG using ColdFusion.
The svg generated by your .cfm should be well-formed xml. If you take a valid svg file and find out that it is no longer one when served by CF, then pay attention to the following: - If it starts with the xml processing instruction (i.e. <?xml ...> ), then it should be the first line in the generated output. Typically CF adds blank lines during processing which can be prevented by preceeding the xml pi with cfcontent: <cfcontent type="image/svg-xml" reset="Yes"><?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> [Note that they are both on the same line] - If you are in debugging mode, debugging output is appended to the output of your SVG generating template as well, breaking the well-formedness of your SVG XML. Remember to disable debugging for that template: <cfsetting showDebugOutput="No"> -If you have a MIME type issue, cfcontent can fix it (as in above): <cfcontent type="image/svg-xml" reset="Yes"> Here's Lincoln's sample modified in accordance with the above: <cfsetting showDebugOutput="No"> <cfcontent type="image/svg-xml" reset="Yes"><?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd";> <svg > <rect width="100" height="100"/> </svg> Ayhan Ergul --- In [email protected], "Mitchell, Lincoln L." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had problems getting coldfusion to generated an SVG file direct in the browser on some PC's so I used a HTML to embed the svg.cfm.
