Hmmmm, start taking out your punctuation one piece at a tiome to see if that solves it.... I've known standard punctuation mess up a paragraph before and I've just about pulled my hair out over it...

If you are coding in xhtml and utf-8 it is almost certainly the double quotes.

Replace them with:

Code: Select all

"

Ok, this is annoying. I'm posting code an the system is converting it.

What you want longhand is; ampersand hash 34 semicolon

So what should I be using instead of the " "? I knew that was it, but was unsure how to fix the problem. Also the validator was picking up the ,?

Yeah probably the quotes.

Code: Select all

      “ and        ”

As I said in my previous post, anywhere you want a " use the ampersand hash 34 semicolon code alternative.
