Re: Apostrophes become boxes and other odd characters in CFMX?
Quoting Cameron Childress [EMAIL PROTECTED]: After upgrading an application from CF5 to CFMX, I have run into a situation where some apostrophes and quote marks are being transformed into weird boxes and other strange characters. This only seems to happen when users cut/paste text from word, and not when they type it directly into the text form fields. I have a feeling that this has something to do with the JDBC drivers, but wanted to ask the list first in case anyone else has run into this problem. I have a feeling it has to do with charsets. Are you explicitly specifying the charset everywhere? Have you taken advantage of the upgrade and switched to unicode in the process?

RE: Apostrophes become boxes and other odd characters in CFMX?
Unfortunately, This was a straight upgrade from CF5 to CFMX and I haven't changed anything about the way it handles char encoding. I am playing with it some now, but do you have an example of the things I might need to change, tags/etc to get this to work? -Cameron - Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc. --- cell: 678-637-5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 9:44 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Apostrophes become boxes and other odd characters in CFMX?

RE: Apostrophes become boxes and other odd characters in CFMX?
I had the same issue and it was a character set issue. Here is the code that I used to fix my application: cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=iso-8859-1 cfset setEncoding(form,iso-8859-1) cfset setEncoding(URL,iso-8859-1) cfcontent type=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Another discussion about character sets: http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=3threadid=403175highlight_key=ykeyword1=MXkeyword2=character Chris White Unfortunately, This was a straight upgrade from CF5 to CFMX and I haven't changed anything about the way it handles char encoding.
