Actually I use a different server for each of the two websites, so I was
surprised to hear that they both are adding the HTTP header at the same
time. Not sure what it means. Perhaps all servers are doing this now?
Thank you for your reference for the list of entities on the w3schools site.
I will use your assignment of (2) Encode all pages as UTF-8 (with all the
steps).
And do I have to change language settings in IE7 and Firefox? And if I
don't *have* to, should I anyway?

Your Note re:
: FYI - this <span style="position: absolute; left: -24; top: 47556;
: z-index: -3"> is making the home page incredibly long.
It happens to be a gradient panel in the left shared border which I "lost"
last year while I was trying to make it "stick" - I have found it this
evening about a mile down the page and deleted it. Thanks.

: Your server is adding a HTTP header:
: Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
: That header forces the browser to display the page as though it were
: encoded as UTF-8
: Since the page is actually encoded as windows-1252, this will cause
: problems.
:
: There is two solutions, and a work-around (though the work around may
: have problems):
:
: 1) Ask your host to remove the HTTP header. Easiest, if the host is
: willing.
: 2) Encode all your pages as UTF-8 - best solution (in my opinion).
:
: Work Around) Change all symbols to character or numeric entities.
: Trevor's posts explain the entities. See
http://www.w3schools.com for a
: list of entities. The problem with this approach is that if you use
: Reformat HTML in Code View, the entities will revert back to ASCII
: characters, and you will be back to square one.
:
: For 2) is a three step process:
: a) With the website open in FrontPage, Tools->Site Settings- Language
: tag
: Set Default Page encoding to Unicode (UTF-8)
:
: b) Global Search and Replace:
: Edit->Replace
: Find: windows-1255
: Replace: UTF-8
: Tick: All pages in Source Code
:
: c) The above is a waste of time without this step.
: Open each and every page, check that there is a meta tag in code
: view like
: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
: and save the page. This ensures the pages are saved in UTF-8 format.
:
: Then republish all pages.

: FYI - this <span style="position: absolute; left: -24; top: 47556;
: z-index: -3"> is making the home page incredibly long.
