Ok here are a couple of shots in the dark. Does the XML have the correct encoding? <?xml version="1.0" encoding=" iso-8859-1"?> How are you pulling the XML in? From a local file? Or cfHttp?
I've never tried this but, if you can tell CF the HTML content with: <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> Can you do this? <cfcontent type="text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1"> Again, shots in the dark. Good luck.

OK. $250.00 reward to the first person who can tell me what I'm doing wrong or give me evidence/show me how to prove that UPS is returning the wrong character set. Knowing UPS, I suspect it's the latter. Here is the page: http://dev.cf-ezcart.com/registerups/ Click Next. The text in the top textarea field is being returned by UPS which I'm stripping from the XML. It is all screwed up. Most notably the French text at the bottom, but also trademark symbols and such. The text in the bottom textarea field is the hard-coded text they sent to me which I pasted in and displays properly. I'm using this at the top of the template: <cfset setEncoding("form","iso-8859-1")> <cfset setEncoding("URL","iso-8859-1")> <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> This is in the HTML HEAD tag: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I tried using <CFPROCESSINGDIRECTIVE pageencoding="iso-8859-1"> in both the template and the custom tag I'm calling but it didn't make a difference. CFMX server. CrystalTech. Here is the response from UPS Tech support. They are absolutely no help: *** Thank you for your email. Due to the many environments and ways which customers can implement the XML Tools, we do not support code directly and provide source code samples for reference only. Unfortunately we can not provide you with access to a cold fusion developer, we do however provide Visual Basic and Java source code samples that employ the ISO-8859-1 standard. The ISO-8859-1 character-set is necessary to be able to use the special French characters and is returned by our servers please reference the header of our XML response which contains the encoding specification of ISO-8859-1. Since the French charter-set is not being properly displayed in the web page we anticipate that your program is manipulating the encoding of the text and setting the encoding to UTF-8 or UTF-16. Please review your programming environment. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
