    Help please - corruption in Firefox

    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....

    

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

    <!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!

          Boggy.
