For file types that might contain executable code, such as Microsoft Excel documents, most
browsers always ask before opening the document. For these file types, the inline content
disposition specification requests the browser to display the file directly if the user selects to open
the file.
For more information on character encodings, see the following web pages:
•
www.w3.org/International/O-charset.html provides general information on character
encodings and the web, and has several useful links.
•
www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets is a complete list of character sets names used on the
Internet, maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
•
java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html lists the character encodings that
Java, and therefore ColdFusion, can interpret. This list uses Java internal names, not the IANA
character encoding names that you use in the
SetEncoding charset
parameter and other
ColdFusion attributes and parameters. ColdFusion MX 6.0 Updater 3 uses JDK 1.3. CFMX
6.1 uses JDK 1.4.2; for encoding support, see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/
encoding.doc.html .
For a complete list of media types used on the Internet, see www.iana.org/assignments/
media-types/ .
Example
<!--- CFCONTENT Example 1
This example shows the use of cfcontent to return the contents of the CF
Documentation page dynamically to the browser. You might need to change the
path and/or drive letter depending on how ColdFusion is installed on your
system. Notice that the graphics do not display and the hyperlinks do not work,
because the html page uses relative filename references.
The root of the reference is the ColdFusion page, not the location of the
html page. --->
<cfcontent type = "text/html"
file = "C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\cfdocs\dochome.htm"
deleteFile = "no">
<!--- CFCONTENT EXAMPLE 2
This example shows how the Reset attribute changes text output. Notice how the
first text section ("This example shows how the Reset attribute changes output
for text reset = "Yes":123) does NOT print out to the screen. --->
<p>This example shows how the Reset attribute changes output for text.</p>
<p>reset = "Yes": 123 <BR> <cfcontent type = "text/html" reset = "Yes">456</p>
<p>This example shows how the Reset attribute changes output for text.</p>
<p>reset = "No": 123 <BR> <cfcontent type = "text/html" reset = "No">456</p>
<!--- CFCONTENT EXAMPLE 3
This example triggers a download of an Excel file. The user will be prompted
with an option to save the file or open it in the browser. --->
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=acmesales03.xls">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel" file="c:\temp\acmesales03.xls">
