I keep getting these weird characters (? after saving the html I've just added to my webpage. How can I stop/remove these characters.<br />Why do they keep appearing?<br />
<br />
I appreciate any help.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<div> </div><!--content-->what are you using to edit your code?<!--content-->I'm using a wysywigPro html editor supplied with my Kiosk.com account.<!--content-->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:<br />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><!--content-->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. <br />
<br />
Thanks for your help. I will try including the character encoding you posted. I'll let you know if it works
