Apostrophes in XHTML
When running my pages through the XHTML validator it seems it doesn't like apostrophes (like in "doesn't"). I'm not about to go replacing every ' with it's ASCII code. Should I be using different Encoding or is it just that picky? I'm using iso-8859-1 right now.

Line 42, column 8: non SGML character number 146 (explain...).
Everyone's needs are different, so we will try to customiz ^ The ^ points to the ' and it shows a box for the '. |

<s>is it implemented in the XHTML as an actual apostrophe or a &[blah]; code?</s> (answered in you initial post - sorry!)

My homepage has ' and validates OK. Here's the header code I'm using:
[pre]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head dir="ltr" xml:lang="en"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />[/pre] |

Lame. Yeah, somehow when the old developer built the original site he used the illegal ' in some places. When I redid the site and copy and pasted the copy those carried over. I guess the font I'm using in my editor doesn't have both, cause I only see the one. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
