Circumflex A appears for carriage returns

[Guest]

I am having problems in HTML emails with the character A circumflex (&#194) showing up in Front Page 2002 in place of hard returns and soft returns, as well as each field displaying it when a table is dropped into a page. In most, but not all cases, the A is visible even though the code is a <&nbsp;>. I'm kinda new to this, but I haven't seen this before. I have tried stripping it in Notepad, but just the carriage returns in FP cause them again. Open to any suggestions short of taking up ceramics...

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood you right, but try this,

On the Standard toolbar, just at the end, before the Help question mark you
will find a icon that is for "Show All", Click on that and check if it
helps.

Regards,
Vijay

Hi,

If its specific to e-mail been opened in Frontpage resulting in this
behavior, then try this resolution:

Start FrontPage
Add a New page
Switch to Code View
Check the default value of the meta tag charset - it would be windows-1252.
Open the e-mail htm file
Now at the top of the page, change the meta tag value for charset from
whatever it is to windows-1252.
Now the code will be preserved when you change over to Design or Preview
mode.

Regards,
Vijay

Hi,

I saved the HTML in a file and opened in FP2002 and even in FP2003, it
looks perfectly fine in both! Maybe you could tell me what I am supposed to
look for and where?

Vijay

| Vijay, thanks for your suggestions; they didn't solve what's going on and
it is kinda baffling. The problem is not consistent throughout the HTML
email, just in certain places with returns. The character set was already
specified as you indicated.

I am pasting the HTML below; if you can see anything amiss, I would
appreciate assistance. I am trying some build from scratch solutions but I
would really like to know what is causing this...

I did the same, I can't see Polly's problem either, page looks fine here.

You guys are great for having taken a look, I'm sorry I have been away and haven't had a chance to follow up. In HTML display, it will look fine, no problems. But when it goes through an email server, I am getting the circumflex A marks showing up at carriage returns. I am using the 7-bit ASCII characters in Notepad, so nothing shows up as garbage characters in the content. But the cirumflexed A appears on many returns, particularly near the top of the message, every cell in a table, etc. I have been sending through MS bCentral LIstBuilder service, and I'm down to thinking it's a problem with them or, remote possibility, there is a mechanical problem on the shift /enter keys; that happens rarely but it does happen I believe

At any rate, thanks again for checking. If you can come up with anything else, I'm interested. In the meantime, all I can do is send out a non-HTML email with links to the server-based page and have folks click through to see it...
