The prefered way is to set the charset in an actual HTTP header, i.e. using cfcontent. That takes preference over setting the charset in HTML. Of course it is a good idea to do it both.

Re: Chinese Character Problem, (Part 2)
OK I just need to clarify, because once I make this change it will have and impact on 10 sites (each using the same templates). Will this work with MS Access and MS SQL, or will I need some special drivers? -- Original Message -- From: Jochem van Dieten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2005 19:25:58 +0200 >Dwayne Cole wrote: >> So on the CMS side this: >> >> >> >> >> >> should be >> >> >> >> > >No, instead of "Unicode" use "UTF-8". > > >> > >Yes. > >Jochem > > ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

I hope it will have an impact on your development environment though. Changing a charset is not some minor change like updating a copyright statement from 2004 to 2005. It can impact everything, from your database to your hardcoded strings to the email you send out. And that is only if you are lucky, because usually half off them change one way and the other half the other way, requiring a differt corrective action. You need to separately verify everything. If you use Access, you need to verify you use the Unicode enabled driver. If you use MS SQL Server, you need to verify you use JDBC and not ODBC. You need to check pages to see if everything displays right. Emails to see if there are no weird characters in there. Etc. etc. etc. Jochem ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
