% Character (percent)

[borbolla]

When reading a memo field from db, if % character is present into the field,
returns everythink ok but the char % as nothing.

DB field containing = 85% percent of people does not eat healthy
Returns = 85percent of people does not eat healthy

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi borbolla,

Aside from the grammar issue ("% percent" is redundant), what do you see in
the source of the returned page? (Please paste it in your reply.) Are you
using any functions to transform the memo content? The percent sign is used in
URL-encoded variables; are you passing the memo contents through the URL scope?

hi philh ,

I though the problem was CF, but I just discovered that the problem is in
flash since I'm loading variables from CF and showing the results. I did the
cfoutput from a cfm page and displays it ok, the problem is when Flash reads
the variables values and doesn't show the "%" character.

I know this forum in not for Flash but, do you have any ideas ?

Thanks for your reply.
