Hey, if anyone could shed some light on this mysterious problem I have I would be greatful.
http://www.jycreations.com/photography/portfolios/display.php?a=lp2008&p=11
I can't for the life of me figure out what the heck is wrong with the code. I made a test page that is pretty much fundamentally the same and the symbols work fine!

This doesn't make sense to me at all. Anyone see the problem?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Could it be that you are located in one country, and uploading the site onto the server of another country?
I get weird things like yours when I send e-mails to Europe.
Looks like that not all countries support all letters/symbols.
Uploading from NJ to TX, so both in the USA.
The most puzzling part is that I made basically two identical pages and it works on one but not the other...
Any other ideas?

I have seen issues like this before, maybe take a look into changing this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Try this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
Im not that techy, but it's something to do with how the symbols are rendered its all 1s and 0s in the end to me, maybe someone with this knowledge could give us a geek definition.

It worked! Thank you so much!
Just when I was about to rip all my hair out... I didn't even know what the heck those meta tags did.

Yep definately.
Actually I had just got done trying to get my content to center vertically on the page with a 100% width/height table with the valign command. Couldn't figure it out for weeks until I realized I needed to remove:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
from my HTML for it to allow a 100% height table.
I tried god knows how many different CSS codes to no avail, until I realized that simple fix!
Dreamweaver puts that stuff there automatically so I didn't even think twice about it. But those tags turn out to be the culprit for me on more than one occasion.
You should have a declaration in there, it's just that the one you had was incorrect for the code you'd created. ;)

Any ideas what it should be?
Maybe:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Seems to work fine without it. What could possibly go wrong......
I really shouldn't say things like that.
That depends on the code you're creating. Start here: http://www.w3schools.com/DTD/default.asp
That might give you a better idea what to use for your page(s).
