Weird Character

? I keep getting these weird characters (Â) after saving the html I’ve just added to my webpage. How can I stop/remove these characters.
Why do they keep appearing?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Mikki

PS-here’s an example:

<table style=”width: 162px; border-collapse: collapse; height: 433px;” bordercolor=”#ff0000″ height=”433″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”3″ width=”162″ align=”center” border=”1″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign=”top” width=”100%” bgcolor=”#9999ff”><strong><font style=”background-color: #9999ff;” face=”Arial”>

@PeOfEoJul 18.2004 — what are you using to edit your code?

@mikl4545authorJul 19.2004 — I'm using a wysywigPro html editor supplied with my Kiosk.com account.

@Daniel_TJul 19.2004 — First off, lose the WYSIWYG editor. Write the code yourself. Second, those characters are usually caused when the incorrect character encoding is used. Put this in the head of your document:
&lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /&gt;

@mikl4545authorJul 19.2004 — Not quite ready to loose the wysywigPro, since I don't have enough knowledge of html yet (still learning). But the editor does let me switch back & forth fron wysywig to html code.

Thanks for your help. I will try including the character encoding you posted. I'll let you know if it works?

@PeOfEoJul 19.2004 — you need to learn then, you will never learn html using a wysiwyg. www.w3schools.com is a good place to learn.

Success!
