iWeb character issue ... (website included)

At a guess, it's because your doctype is XHTML-transitional, but your characters are not coded using the proper character entities for that doctype. See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp for a list of common ones. They open with an ampersand, then some combination of characters, then close with a semi-colon. Such as "é" for the "é" character.

Generally, modern browsers (Firefox, Safari) are pretty forgiving about this. However, iWeb tends to add in junk code that is not needed, and results in problems such as this one.

OK ... I'm not an expert at all at webdesign (that's one of the reasons I'm using iWeb)

So how do you suggest I solve this problem from within iWeb?

Thanks in advance!
