Help please - corruption in Firefox

Bogwitch

Hi All,

I have a small collection of pages which display fine in IE but in
Firefox there is a weird string at the top of the page. I'll paste it
here but I'm not sure how it will come through....

ï»¿

appears right at the top of the page. If I check the source, it appears
in the source code as such:

ï»¿<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC...

The same page display fine in IE as I said, and the extra three
characters do NOT appear in the source.

The pages are displayed fine when opened locally - the fault only shows
when they are uploaded to the server.

Any suggestions or requests for further information will be greatfully
received.

Thanks,

Boggy.

It's an UTF-8 BOM (google it for a more detailed explanation what that
is), remove it from the file/possible scripts generating it. A decent
text-editor should do the trick.

Rik,

You're a hero!

Cheers, it was actually in the html pages, rather than the css as I
first suspected, but with a quick run through, I'll have them all fixed.

Thanks a load!
