Isn't it actually better not to use cfcontent type="text/html in your Application.cfc if you are expecting a client other than a browser to access your application (Flash, webservices, etc.). Or if you are going to serve content other than HTML? And in that scenario use the cfcontent in your layout pages or other primary page(s) for HTML display?
Which makes me wonder, what should happen when you have conflicting multiple cfcontent tags? - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hastings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 11:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFMX, Dreamweaver and UTF-8 Calvin Ward wrote: > If I understand correctly, if I use Dreamweaver to save a .cfm file with a > BOM for Unicode, then I shouldn't need to use <cfprocessingdirective>.
