css not working in cffile write

Question

I have a report which is enclosed in a cfsavecontent tag.

<cfsavecontent variable = "testcust">

When I use

<cfoutput> #testcust# </cfoutput>

the report renders correctly. When I use cffile to save it to disk I lose the css formatting:

<cffile action = "write"
file   = "/var/www/reports/testcust.cfm"
output = "#testcust#">

I can run testcust.cfm and it produces the report. All in-line styling is preserved. But formatting from the style sheet is not there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

you need to write the css file to your .cfm file – Matt Busche Jun 06 '13 at 17:59 — Matt Busche, Jun 06 '13 at 17:59

You need to escape the html special characters. e.g < for < and > for >

So replace them before writing to file.

*e.g `<` for `<`* Not sure what you mean. That is the opposite of escaping. If you meant the reverse, that would cause tags to be displayed rather than evaluated. – Leigh Jun 06 '13 at 22:29
yes the reverse. I meant replace `<` with `<` and replace `>` with `>` . This would allow the tags symbol to remain in the output file instead of being evaluated. – user2461235 Jun 12 '13 at 08:52
