Hello,
I am using SSI files for a site. Included in the SSI file is text
content that includes characters such as the ampersand(&) and
copyright symbol. In my markup, I've converted these characters to
"&" and "©" (excluding the quotes, of course) yet when the
files display in a page, and when I do a View Source", these
characters are shown as "&" and the copyright symbol. I've tried
coding these characters with the number codes and the same thing
happens. However, if the same characters are used in code not
included in the SSI they remain as originally coded.
Normally I wouldn't be concerned, but I'm trying to write the pages to
conform to a transitional XHTML standard .. of course, the pages don't
validate because of the incorrect characters.
Any suggestions/comments?
Many thanks,
R.A. Paterson
