Thanks everybody's concern, now I can close the ticket
because I found the way to solve french accent problem.
There are some ways to change the display by using either
coldfusion functions and tags or HTML tags.
The codes like this:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<cfoutput>#SetLocale("French
(Canadian)")#</cfoutput>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8" />
you can use any one of above code fragments or all of them in
the top of the page. but make sure the charset should be the same
anywhere.
Actually, that was not what I did in my project. I am using
coldfusion mx7. to solve the french accent problem, some server
side fix patch is needed. you will find the hot fix for coldfusion
mx7 respecting to solve french accent problem from macromedia
website. this update is neccessory. So please ask your system
administrator to do that if you sufer from the same problem as me.
Good Luck every body!!
