I have updated to CFMX 7 amd am expereincing various problems witht eh encoding
on my pages.
I thought it was my browser settings but have established it is not.
I have a W2K eng box where I have the web server (Apache) and CFMX7 installed.
When I open pages from this box I get only garbled characters....
But if I install CFMX 7 on my development laptop (XP jpn) then it all appears
fine....

So I am guessing is there a problem with CFMX 7 being on and English system or
is it the problem with W2K????
Lastly can I install CF on a different machine than the web server??

what do you think the encodings should be?

mx encoding defaults to utf-8. i guess that's not what the encoding is
for your application. is the issue w/static text and/or coming out of a
database? if from a db, what db? what driver?

Am using UTF-8 but it just comes out garbled on the production server.
In dev mode on my own PC it is fine....

It is only static text...
Any text wrapped in flash or java displays fine but  not when it is just on
the page...
This is a major pain as I have already uninstalled CF and tried again but same
results...
Any ideas???

Thanks

if so, it wouldn't come out "garbled".

which i guess is using some japanese codepage & is probably what your
webpages are encoded as.

get your encodings correct. is there a public page i can see that shows
this behavior?

Did you upgrade from CF 5 or prior?
There are known issues with converting dbl-byte data from CF 5 and prior.
