In my website whenever I launch it in firefox the symbols:




appear in the top left hand corner - it doesn't happen in IE. Any ideas on what it is and how to get rid of them?

Also I do a find on them on the html page it appears on and the symbols can't be found.

Thanks for any help!

If I'm not mistaken, that's a BOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark). Save your page as UTF-8 or delete that mark with HEX editor.

Thanks turns out it was that - just 40 odd pages now to redo and untick an option on dreamweaver. Whoopie! Thanks.

use the finder, and find the code. and replace it.

find the meta http line


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


and change the charset to the one that works :P i think
