    Can someone take a look at this in FF and explain why the weird  characters appear at the top of the page. If I remove all the polish, they disappear, so it's related to that, but I'm not getting the issues on any other polish page on the site (eg http://www.rcmck.com/index.php?l=polish) and it's only happening in FF 2.0.0.5.

    They're not in the page I'm ftping (obv) and I've tried ftp'ing as ASCII and binary to no avail. Any help in locating the source of this issue would be appreciated

    By the way I have
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;CHARSET=iso-8859-1">
    
    in both files, they only diff is that one is php and one is html, but that surely doesn't matter?

    change to

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;CHARSET=UTF-8">

    Thanks Phenom. I did have that charset before and I thought it was causing some issues (but it seems not). So why is FF reporting this issue only - or is it just that IE is more forgiving of dumbass developers :)
