HTML question

- Freaky control characters showing up in Firefox on Macs.
- They show up on nothing else -- not in Safari, not on PCs.

What the hell should I be looking for that will make this stop?

There's always problems doing copy-pasta from word processors. Most notably, when Word or Open Office do double quote substitution.

Word:
Tools | Autocorrect Options | Auto-format as you type (tab)
Uncheck: Replace as you type "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes"

And that is the reason Word is the bane of my existence :-P. Thanks for that tip, I'll have to remember it...

Yup, found my way there shortly thereafter. Cute :-)
