Replace accented characters with HTML code (cffile)

[creelove]

I am using cffile to generate an HTML file - however, many times I have accented characters that end up being little boxes when I open the HTML file. For a quick fix, I usually just convert the special characters with the actual code (i.e. é) then it is fine. However, I would much rather have the application convert it for me. I tried to use the REReplace function after I pull the data from the query,

<cfset title = "#REReplace(queryinfo.title, "é", "&eacute;", "ALL")#">

but this isn't working....does anyone have any other ideas?

Thank you.

boxes simply mean the browser can't render that char with the given font. that

could either be wrong font or sometimes a slight encoding problem. what encoding

are you using?

I changed it from UTF-8 to windows-1525 in the meta-data and it worked fine....thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!
