I had the same issue and it was a character set issue. Here is the code that I used to fix my application:
cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="iso-8859-1"> <cfset setEncoding("form","iso-8859-1")> <cfset setEncoding("URL","iso-8859-1")> <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> Another discussion about character sets: http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=403175&highlight_key=y&keyword1=MX&keyword2=character Chris White Unfortunately, This was a straight upgrade from CF5 to CFMX and I haven't changed anything about the way it handles char encoding. I am playing with it some now, but do you have an example of the things I might need to change, tags/etc to get this to work? -Cameron ----------------- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc. --- cell: 678-637-5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 9:44 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Apostrophes become boxes and other odd characters in > CFMX? > > > Quoting Cameron Childress <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > After upgrading an application from CF5 to CFMX, I have run into a > > situation where some apostrophes and quote marks are being > > transformed into weird boxes and other strange characters.
