Re: CFMX + UTF8 vs Javascript: problem solved
Hi, I finally figured out that the iso-8859-1 characters where replaced by y not in the database, but during the post through the form. As Deanna Schneider pointed out, I needed to add both lines cfset setEncoding(url,ISO-8859-1) cfset setEncoding(form,ISO-8859-1) in the Application.cfm Now, in order the application is completely CF 5 and CFMX compatible, I use this in the application template: CFSET CFversion = listGetAt(server.coldfusion.productVersion, 1) CFIF CFversion GT 5 cfcontent type=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 cfset setEncoding(url,ISO-8859-1) cfset setEncoding(form,ISO-8859-1) /CFIF Thanks all for your help, especially Deanna. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: CFMX + UTF8 vs Javascript
Hi, I'm still having a big problem with this application in French, moving from CF 5.0 to CFMX. The problem is that all pages and data in the Access database are not in Unicode, but in plain good old iso-8859-1. CFMX by default is converting every thing in UTF-8. Explorer understand that it is UTF-8, and text looks ok. The trouble is that Explorer thinks that the Javascript files are also in UTF-8, but since they are not translated by CF, they are not. See this example here: http://diplomes.med.umontreal.ca/test/test.htm This file just contains SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=test.js TYPE=text/javascript/SCRIPT And the javascript file contains: alert(é ); When you call the htm page, the alert actually shows the character é But when you call test.cfm instead, the alert shows a square, because the é was interpreted as a bad UTF-8 string. If I add the line cfcontent type=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 in the Application.cfm file, everything looks fine, including Javascript, BUT now in every record edited on the site, any character higher that 127 is replaced by ý (7D in hex) in the database... :-( Do I also have to put cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding=ISO-8859-1 in EVERY page? This looks crazy, I have hundreds of pages and the code must also run on CF 5.0 ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:191576 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

For some pages in some sites in some languages, YES, but for most european languages, iso-8859-1 is the standard. as jochem has pointed out it has no euro, and as i found out from the unicode list not even all chars from most european languages as you put it: http://www.sustainablegis.com/blog/cfg11n/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=5273BBAB-20ED-7DEE-2AD54A06799B0467 and these days i'm not sure what you'd call turkey (or the ukraine for that matter). unicode is really the only sensible char encoding for the euroland. Of course, one can always use a combine harvester to mow one's green... ;-) that's not even close to being analogous. it's a myth that unicode is bloated, it's as efficient as it needs to be for the task it has to accomplish. the most frequently used chars (at least at the beginning of the unicode and perhaps internet) are encoded using only 1 byte. that helped give rise to some conspiracy folk's idea that the unicode was some kind of english-speaking western plot to take control of the world's languages. microsoft has replaced the english-speaking western powers as the evil genius in the latest version. for other languages that can fit within a codepage (say thai) yup, there is some bloat. but i haven't see anybody around here complaining.
