It usually occurs where some text has been pasted in to a text box/area instead of being typed in directly. Usually apostrophe, question mark, or dash (hyphen) etc.
I find the best thing to do with copied text is to paste it into notepad first, and then copy and past into DHE.
Hope this helps |

Hello Toon,
If I go to your site the problem seems fixed. So?
Anyway, what you see is the bite Byte order mark (BOM) for a UTF-8 file. If you check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark There's this description of the BOM.
The UTF-8 representation of the BOM is the byte sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF, which appears as the ISO-8859-1 characters ? in most text editors and web browsers not prepared to handle UTF-8.
So I think the browser believes it's showing a "ISO-8859-1" file and you used UTF-8 encoding.
It doesn't appear now anymore because of this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
|
Bye,
Londen. |

In firefox it's steill there but in in IE it isn't.
I haven't pasted any text and it shows in multiple sites that I changed in the last few days?
Why it shows now and not in the past... I don't know.
Something changed in DHE upgrade?

Toon, I don't use firefox, zo I tried Opera and . . . no BOM.
So it must be a Firefox problem. I say that because I was lead to believe that Opera is very strict in using html standards. |
Bye,
Londen. |
