Character Encoding
Yesterday I had a nightmare with some very unusual character encoding issues. This only occurred in internet explorer, however the text of the page was static, the charset for the page was:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
and also the http header for the charset was set to UTF-8. Halfway through the body of the content ie did not recognise a character skipping the next few characters and cutting off half of a strong tag. eg “etcetc…strong>” where as the source was “etcetc…</strong>”. I haven’t found the particular cause at present, however overwriting the file with a previous version overcome this problem. Will be curious to know if anyone else has come across any peculiar results such as the above.

Hi, may be something todo with the text editor? Did you saved it as utf-8, with or without Byte-Order-Mark?

The page was saved as UTF-8, along with the charset http header set to UTF-8. Any other ideas?
