Problems with Umlauts
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Coldfusion and have installed a couple of systems. I am
using Solaris 2.8, Coldfusion MX 6.1 with the Apache webserver. On two systems
everything works fine but on the production server it doesn't. I know that the
installations are identical because I installed the production server via a tar
file from one that is working.
Here is a sample of the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<!---erweitert um ausgabe stand..... 26.09.01--->
<!--- Anpassungen background Tabellen reste enfernt, Datums Problem bei
Alarm.. beseitigt 27.09.01 --->
<title>Hauptauswahl ZSG-Sb</title>
</head>
This is an umlaut test: ???????<br><br>
????????????????????<br>
????????????????????<br>
????????????????????<br>
<br>
????
</font>
</body>
</html>
-----------------------------------------------------
As you can see, nothing special, but all of the German special characters are
displayed as ? . Any assistance anyone could provide would be greatly
apreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi, We run a site in multiple languages including German & Chinese we have
found the best thing to do is to leave everything in UTF-8. The trick seems to
be to save your coldfusion templates in UTF-8 encoded format. The important
thing is to make sure that the BOM (byte order mark) gets set when you save
your template, seems a lot of people i talk to get tripped up on this. Not
sure if this is an issue in CFMX7 but it sure was in CFMX6.1 and Bluedragon.
Within dreamweaver2004 you can makes sure the BOM gets set under the following
menu point Modify -> Page Properties -> Title / Encodings theire is an option
to save the document as UTF-8 and a checkbox to ensure the BOM gets set. Within
Eclipse 3.01 you can specify UTF-8 but still no BOM gets set this prevent the
server from recognizing the file is encoded as unicode (at least this was the
case) we had to build a tool to set the BOM for templates created with eclipse.
The nice thing with utf-8 is that our english,german,chinese devlopers can all
build on our application and everything is diplayed properly. Unfortunatley in
a lot of the native german coldfusion forums the advice is always to mess with
the content setting tags not quite sure why this advice is given when utf-8 is
so much nicer and trouble free. Has any one got any thoughts on this or am I
missing something. Hope this info is of help. cheers Marcel
