Stupid question but are you sure you leared your cache before opening it up in IE after adding the cdata?

Error processing resource 'http://icc.getfused.com:8700/proshopwebservices/... <BILLTOCOMPANY>Compa Here is odd thing, I view source: <SHIPTOCOMPANY><![CDATA[Compañia de Seguros]]></SHIPTOCOMPANY> Looks to me like it escaped it, but yet it still throws the error when IE tries to view the xml. Im guessing if IE tosses the error then the xml transform on the asp page will prob. Choke as well. gabe -----Original Message----- From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 8:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Xmlformat() ... well not formatting Have you tried... <SHIPTOCOMPANY><![CDATA[Compañia de Seguros]]></SHIPTOCOMPANY> ....:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. Bobby Hartsfield http://acoderslife.com -----Original Message----- From: gabriel l smallman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 8:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Xmlformat() ... well not formatting Hey all, Im running into an issue with xml based service. Im sending the following out the door: <SHIPTOCOMPANY>Compañia de Seguros</SHIPTOCOMPANY> The ñ is causing the receiving application to choke when it tries transform this into an xml object (asp page). I am running xmlformat on all the fields. The documentation tells me that xmlformat should replace this value ASCII 241 with its escape. But no joy. Documentation shows that it should escape ASCII stuff above 127 "the XmlFormat function also escapes hi-ASCII characters (127 - 256)." Anyone have this issue and figure something out? gabe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
