OK, I just tried something similar, and got the same result. It was my understanding that you couldn't include an XML declaration within CFXML, but apparently that changed between CF 6 and 7: "ColdFusion MX 7: Added support for using an XML declaration at the start of the text." http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000352.htm#2497244 So, thanks for pointing that out! But in any case, there's no need for the original poster to do this, if the point is simply to output the existing string of XML. And, if you have a string containing XML and you want to create an XML document object, that's what XmlParse is for.
