Hi:
Please help me solve these errors in my html website. Everything was showing properly until 10 minutes ago when I decided to make a change to an error that i found on my salespage. Afterwards, all words with apostrophes showed up with a question mark "?" such as
can?t, didn?t etc.

How can i fix this problem.

Thanks

Those are most likely BOM's Byte order mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this file PHP or plain HTML.
What were you editing it in?
If it was a desktop editor see if it has an Encoding setting, save it as UTF-8 Without BOM.

You may also be able to fix it in NotePad++
It has a convert option in it.

hi:
It is a html website. I found a code from 2008 at this forum that seem to have solved the problem
