Strange Characters!

Hello all,

 

I have a problem with my osCommerce site http://www.sexytoystores.com (do not go on if under 18!)

 

The site works fine (well the payment processor, products and shipping etc have not been added) but when you click on my account as you can see it uses SSL for secure data transaction. But to the left of some of my divs are strange A characters...

 

I am using STS and cannot see the problem anywhere!! Maybe i need to specify my SSL url?? any comments are welcome...

I fixed the problem myself...

 

I thought I would post my solution as it may prove extremely useful for someone else in my position.

 

Basically I have OSCommerce installed with STS (template system) and instead of editing the default template I made my own and saved over it... but the default charset in dreamweaver is UTF8 instead of ISO so just needed to change the line to

 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

 

Where where it has ISO it had UTF-8

 

This fixes the problem as all the files now use the same character sets... :rolleyes:
