Ok, I've made my first attempt and it seems to be working well. I've added a cfprocessingdirective and cfcontent tags to the beginning of my file.
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="windows-1252" /> <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=windows-1252" reset="yes" /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> As well as the Content-Type meta tag in the html head section. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" /> Then in the form processing section of the page I have added a setEncoding function. <cfset setEncoding("form","windows-1252")> Next I added an encoding line to where the xml is built. <cfxml variable="joe"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> And finally, I have added charset parameters to my cffile tags. <cffile action="write" charset="windows-1252" file="#getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())#\tinyMCE.xml" nameconflict="overwrite" output="#replace(toString(joe),'UTF-8','windows-1252')#"> <cffile action="read" charset="windows-1252" file="#getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())#\tinyMCE.xml" variable="foobar"> This all seems to be working, but is there anything I can added that would help in the stability of all this. This was just a single page test case. I am now off to apply these elements to all the pages of the full blown (albeit small) CMS tool. Any advanced warnings of potential 'gotchas' would be most appreciated.
