HTML - Quotation Marks In My Website Show In Browser As Question Marks
Similar TutorialsHi folks... I have a website that shows some reverse color question marks in odd places. The original code appears clean, but when I view it in FF it adds these characters. Here's the original code: <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> When I view it in IE there's no problem When I VIEW SOURCE in IE, it looks like this: <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center" width="28%"> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff"> </font></div> <div align="center"><font size="3"><strong><a But when I view the same page in my FF it looks like this: <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center" width="28%"> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff">�</font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff">�</font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff">�</font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff">�</font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff">�</font></div> <div align="center"><font color="#ffffff">�</font></div> When I view the same page on my wife's system, also using FF the Q marks do not show up! I see the space between the > <, but why does it only show on my computer? There must be a simple solution for this, but I cannot figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks Danolo Have a very simple webpage but have noticed it has started setting off virus warnings now in some security software when loading the page. Warnings go off in Avast (my home computer) when I try to access the page, but not Trend Micro (work). Took a look at the coding and noticed that random "question marks" are appearing at the end of the page. I am not inserting these and have no idea where they are coming from. No one has access to my FTP but me. Here is a sample of the code at the end of the page: <td colspan="5" class="footer"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Z??????????<?????????????????Z??? ???????????????????????????????????????Z??????????????????????????Z???Z??????????????????????<?????? ?????????????????<?)????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Z??????? ??????Z??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Any idea what this is an how to get rid of it? If I delete the extraneous code and upload a new page it appears again after a few days. Thanks, TomPaz Hi I am very new to coding, but have managed to get a few pages online, but when I upload my text, apostophe's come out as little boxes?! If you take a look here you'll see what i mean: http://www.universityreview.co.uk/lse.php Any help and suggestions would be great! Many thanks With the help of javascript im making a bookmark button. To show the button i use to img src to link to the correct folder/file. When i test the bookmarker on a test website it works perfectly, but it doesn't work when i copy/paste the code to the real website. The test website folder looks like this: test.html images/favo.png The real website looks the same as the test website: index.php images/favo.png The bookmark code is: <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('MyWebsite', 'http://www.MyWebsite.nl')"> <img src="images/favo.png" alt="bookmark" width="47" height="33" border="0" /></a> There is also some javascript code in the <head> but it's not necessary to post the code here because the bookmark script itself works. The 'real' website shows me a 'can't find image'-picture, which obviously means i've made a mistake linking to the .png file. Hopefully someone can help me out here because i'm puzzled. I've double checked the names of the folders and files so no mistake there. edit// Ok; i came up with the idea of adding a <base href> to the <head> of the index.php The entire code looks like this: <head> <base href="don't know what to write here"> </head> <body> <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('MyWebsite', 'http://www.MyWebsite.nl')"> <img src="images/favo.png" alt="bookmark" width="47" height="33" border="0" /></a> </body> I'm supposed to tell the browser where to look. In the img src i've explained where the favo.png is. The problem is that i have no idea what to write in the <base href>. When i access the ftp i have to click through several folders to get to the folder of the 'real' website. When i write the names of the folders in the <base href> the problem remains. Right click on the 'can't find image' it gives me an url of the website: http://www.MyWebsite.nl/MyWebsite/images/favo.png Which isn't the same as the folders i have to access on the ftp server. The order of the folders on the ftp server is as follows: public_html/MyWebsite/templates/MyWebsite/MyWebsite/images/favo.png Must be someone out there who can help me solve this html problem. Hey, I'm making a website about a television show. I want to show the broadcast times of the TV show, the times can be found on the website of the television company. http://www.zappelin.nl/pororo Under the bit where it says: ''Volgende Aflevering'' it shows the date of the next episode. Whenever the episode is over it automatically changes to the next broadcast time. I want to just show this information on my website too, how would I go about this? Thanks! I'm not very good at HTML and such so if someone could give a step-by-step explanation I'd very much appreciate it. I've created a blog on tumblr and attached it to a domain I purchased. The problem is it looks absolutely great in Safari (Windows) but not as great in IE or Firefox (Windows). Here is the site in safari, the screenshots mac but its the same on windows. and here is the IE version. The font (Century Gothic) looks terrible compared to the safari version. Tumblr has the feature to edit html but I am not that great with html and have basic knowledge. If anyone wants to see the html I will show them it. If anyone could help me alter the html to make the website look as smooth in IE and Firefox as it does in Safari I would be majorly grateful. Thanks, Danny May web site is not all browser is not same size. I had this problem before with the Firefox coding incompatibility.. On my website, I post updates for all of the changes I make about each month. I tried to post an update today and I noticed that it wasn't showing up in Firefox. I brought my page up on Internet Explorer and it shows up just fine. Point and case, there's something wonky with my coding again that is angering Firefox and its refusing to show my updates. Here's the code. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Natalie's Cosplay</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <h1></h1> <div id="head-1" style="WIDTH: 401px; HEIGHT: 386px"></div> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm//index.htm"><font size="1">HOME</font></a></li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/Aboutme.html">ABOUT ME</font></a></li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/completed.html">COMPLETED COSTUMES</font></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/inprogress.html"><font color="#000000" size="1">IN</font><font color="#000000" size=1>-PROGRESS COSTUMES</a></font> </li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.ultraguest.com/view/1180720057">GUESTBOOK</font></a></li> <li><font color="#000000" size="1"><a href="http://www.geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/links.html">RECOMMENDED SITES</font></a></li> <li class="last"><a href="MAILTO:Chinesefightinyo@aol.com"><font color="#000000" size="1">CONTACT ME</font></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="body-left"> <h2><font color="#000000"><em><font color=#000000>G</font></em>al</font>lery</h2><br> Newest Costume: Songmage Rikku! <div id="gallery"> <div class="gal" id="gzero"><a href="http://geocities.com/lnyworikkukenm/songmage.html"><img height="163" alt="Latest Costume: Songmage Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2/Original Artist Concept" src="bigsong.jpg" width="221" ></a></div> <div class="gal" id="gone"><img height="41" src="song1.jpg" width =57 ></a></div> <div class="gal" id="gtwo"><img height="41" src="song2.jpg" width =57 ></a></div> <div class="gal" id="gthree"><img height="41" src="song3.jpg" width =57 ></a></div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <table width="133" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center"><tr><td align="middle"><a href="http://www.website-hit-counters.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.website-hit-counters.com/cgi-bin/image.pl?URL=8421-4416" alt="free website hit counters service" border="0" ></a></td></tr><tr><td align="middle"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; COLOR: #24092c; FONT-FAMILY: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none">Get a <a href="http://www.website-hit-counters.com" target="_blank" style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; COLOR: #444444; FONT-FAMILY: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none" title="free website hit counter">free website hit counter</a> .</font></td></tr></table> </div> <div id="body-right"> <h2 align="left"><font color=#000000>W</font>elcome!</h2> <p align="center"> <br><font color="#000000" size="1">Please don't use any of my photos without asking!

Does anyone know of any firefox add-ons or Chrome add-ons for seeing sites in different browsers that work for mac? Or alternatively a website that displays sites as seen in different browsers? Hello. =) I'm trying to create a small website for my family, and I want to incorporate this drop-down menu from Sons of Suckerfish. I had some help altering the menu a bit, but I'm still having a few problems. =( I'm testing my site in as many browsers as possible, and I came across two major problems: Problem #1: The Top Menu It doesn't work in IE6. The menu keeps jumping VERY far to the right. Also, the words "Home", "By Year", etc. should change color when hovered on. You can observe the differences between IE6 and Firefox below, in these images I made: Menu (mouse issues; example #1) Menu (mouse issues; example #2) =================================== =================================== Problem #2: The "Thanks" Section My "Thanks" section isn't looking right, either. For some reason, Netscape won't space the image away from the text: Image (how "Thanks" page looks in IE, Firefox, and Netscape) I know Netscape Navigator is pretty much "extinct" now, but I'm still curious to know what the problem is. I'm guessing the problem is the "display: inline-box" code in my DIV tag. Is there another code I can use to fix this problem, or maybe there's a hack I can use for Navigator? Or...should I stop using DIVs and acheive the same effect another way (like with a table or something)? I really hope someone can help. Thanks in advance! Dear members! Im currently a learner in cSS with HTML, and i'm having a hard time understanding some simple rules and aligment options. I currently have theese two files set up; Index.html (LINK) style1.css (LINK) And what i'm having a hard time to get right is to include the different #elements from the CSS file, (So that they will be shown in the HTML documents, could someone please tell me how that is done properly?) Also, i followed THIS GUIDE to try to understand how to center-align my website, but it doesent seem to be right, as the box is not centered, at the same time as if i try to edit the values (how many pixels the box should be, nothing happens) Could someone please tell me the proper way to center-align a webpage or correct the documents so it center-aligns, as well as tell me how to construct elements / boxes in CSS so that i could start to make a basic site-design in CSS and how to code this in the HTML file so that the elements that i've constructed in the CSS file will be shown on the HTML page properly? If you guys have some good guides to start me off, that would be great to.. thanks!

Oye, I am trying to complete this teeny photo album I've been working on ... and I just about completed .. when I tested the Site in various browsers (mozilla, Explorer 8, Safari, Google Chrome) ... i noticed one of the frames is not showing in Google Chrome. How odd? here is the site: xxx There are three teeny shaded squares in a frame that is designated a height of 70 pixels and a width of i believe 100% ... it is visible on Mozilla, Explorer, Safari ... any ideas? is my source code screwy? Thanks! Hi I am verymuch New this Html work. I had created a Html page having top,left,content page. i created font list like below combination Tahoma,verdana,arial,san-serif When i run the page in my system the Heading style in IE is different from FireFox browser. my question 1. Why it is different? 2. What is the meaning of creating four fonts in a list. please guide me kanish My first post what a beautiful forum .......anyway ........i know i can use and anchor tag and set it to open in a _blank window, but how do i make it so that the window which opens ....... opens in a new tab in IE 7 or Firefox 2.0 ? I have been considering using some DHTML to make an expandable/collapsable block of text.. see:: http://kilbad.com/DEVELOPMENT/expand.php This page does validate at the w3c, when set to strict, as xhtml strict (I think the code has transitional right now), which I am happy about. However, what percentage of browsers will support this feature? I don't know much about dhtml. How do you xhtml purists feel about this code in general?? Thank you so much in advance!! Brendan |
