Ok, guys, I have a working proof of concept. At least on my server, this simple
4 line code example illustrates the problem. To recreate, dowload this file:
http://techfeed.net/xmlHTMLTest.zip
And then follow these steps.
1. Extract the zip to your ColdFusion sites directory.
2. BEFORE RUNNING THE .CFM, open up parkRegions.xml and note how the first
<region> has normal (not escaped) HTML tags.
3. Run xmlHTMLTest.cfm (no output is generated, so you'll just see a blank
page).
4. Open parkRegions.xml again and note how the first <region> now contains
escaped HTML. At least, for me on my servers it does (I tried this code on two
different servers).
Can you see what I'm doing wrong?
