Hi,
while I was testing my code in different browsers, I found FireFox is displaying some unusual characters in my page?This is at the beginning of the page and at the beginning of each include (require) statements.While IE shows nothing, just plain nice page.
These characters are some thing like - ;??
Though I am not sure what these characters are but I think there is something I am missing out here.
thanks

Are you using Dreamweaver to edit/make your scripts?

Can you post a live link we can look at?

I am using SEPY for coding.Unfortunately, live link is not present right now, I am working on a standalonr server.I think I will get the code and show here.

SE|PY? That's an ActionScript editor. Are you saving the files in UTF-8? If you are, SEPY may be adding a BOM or Byte-Order-Marker which is a 16-bit binary string equal to 0xFEFF or 0xFFFE at the beginning of the file.
