I am developing a site in Dreamweaver CS3 with the home page as index.html and
the back pages in .php. There's a character (capital A with a carrot ^ over
the A) that shows up in different places on different days on the index.html
page whenever I view it on the remote server and my computer's localhost - IE
only.

I have read that the UTF-8 may have something to do with this. The character
is not replacing anything...it just appears here, then there. Can anyone tell
me what's causing this to happen?

I think you need to post a site address/link so the Gurus here (I am not one) may look at your actual code

Okay. here is the link. www.gmawscrib.com Thanks, John.

Murray,
Thanks, I completely forgot to validate.
Okay, I cleaned up the problems but the validator says:
" No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8."
I DO have UTF-8. Here, I'll copy and past the code from the top of my page:
<meta http-equiv="-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
As you know, this is automatically inserted by Dreamweaver.
Still, even after cleaning up the page and getting my congratulations from
WC3, the unwanted character still remains within the page.

Any other suggestions?

Hi.
You have an error in the line which set the caracter encoding:
Change this:
<meta http-equiv="-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

For This:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

As you can see you have eaten "Content"

Miguel.

Miguel,
I thought I found the answer but as you can see, I didn't...even though the wierd character disappeared.

I will try your code and see if it will validate.
Thanks for responding.

Miguel,

You found it! Thank you, thank you.

I have no idea how "I" omitted the word "Content" from that line of code...I
just didn't see it. I must have done it withing the last couple days as that's
when the strange character started showing up.

I looked at the rest of my pages and they are correct.

Again, thank you for finding the problem.

You are welcome.
