No menu showing with NS 6.2 and Coldfusion

Hi
I just downloaded the menu system a few days ago and have been setting up a trial menu. Everything seems to work fine except that under Netscape 6.2 there is no menu displayed if the file type is CFM (cold fusion). It works fine under all other browsers I've tried - IE5.5, IE6, IE5.0, NS 4.76, Opera 6, Mozilla 1.0.
It also works just fine in NS6.2 if I save the file as an ASP or HTML file type. Even though I'm saving it with a Coldfusion file type there is nothing but pure html code plus the Milonic JS code.
The browsers are running under w2k.
The code is extremely simple and is shown below. I'm wondering if any one has experience using the menu system with coldfusion. I don't think there is any problem with the menu code but Coldfusion must be altering the code in some way.
The pages can be loaded from
http://toyon.ucsc.edu/studenthousing/st ... stmenu.ASP
and testmenu.cfm
Thanks for any help

Jim, I also use .cfm for my array files, and have the same failure you do. See one of my problems at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai under different browsers - NS leaves a big hole, the others work fine.
Tried NS 7 release last night and the menu is there, but the follow-me is very erratic, not smooth as in IE.
Andy is aware.

I was having similar problems with CF until I added the following to after the </title> tag of my code when I use the menu. I think CF Server renders some of the Milonic code improperly in NN browsers for some reason. Anyways, it worked for me:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">

Interesting. Will give that a try.
In looking at things again this morning I find that NS 6.2 is now rendering the menu but 1px lower that it should be (or as displayed in NS 4.79 and IE 6). See http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/ . Since we're starting to move away from supporting NS I don't think I'm going to worry about that.
