Set the page header to send xml instead of HTML, in CF just like you do to show your HTML table in excel or any other application mime type that you know the client will have installed:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=text.xml"> <cfcontent type="text/xml"> Just put that at the very top of your CFM file. I did a quick search and found this discussion on it: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=messages&threadid=248 64&forumid=4 Jacob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 9:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Writing XML files with a .cfm file Ah, very good point.
