If anyone could give me a hand (no clapping please) I am tryng to change mime types but am confused by all the pages and code CC generates. I would appreciate any direction on this. I saw someinformation on PHP and ASP and assume it will be really close...

Thanks!

Try take a deeper look into doc about CFCONTENT tag or at my quotation.


The following example shows how you might display the results of a query, in an Excel spreadsheet within a ColdFusion page.

<!--- use cfsetting to block output of HTML that is not within cfoutput tags --->

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes">

<!--- get Employee info --->
<cfquery name="GetEmps" datasource="CompanyInfo">
SELECT * FROM Employee
</cfquery>

<!--- Set variables for special chars --->
<cfset TabChar = Chr(9)>
<cfset NewLine = Chr(13) & Chr(10)>

<!--- Set content type to invoke Excel --->
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">

<!--- suggest default name for XLS file --->
<!--- use "Content-Disposition" in cfheader for Internet Explorer --->
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=Employees.xls">

<!--- output data, each row on one line--->
<cfloop query="GetEmps">
<cfoutput>#Emp_ID##TabChar##LastName#
#TabChar##FirstName##TabChar##Salary##NewLine#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

If you use this tag after the cfflush tag on a page, ColdFusion throws an error.
