Gaelic Text
Hi All

I'm not sure what to do to fix this. Can you advise? I use the CKEditor for all the templates on the website.
Thanks

Are you serving your pages as UTF-8? You need to be doing that otherwise you will get strange characters.
I went into the template, checked the page properties, made sure that the encoding was set to UTF-8 and resaved and re-uploaded. The client tested again and got the same results.
Dreamweaver is a bit odd though as whenever you check the page properties of anything it defaults to Western European and uyou have to check this everytime you open a document and resave it.
Do I have to change the information in my meta then? I'm not using HTML5 for this site and at the moment dreamweaver has this in the meta:
is this what I need to change sitewide?
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">You can check in your browser to see what the page is being served as.
I presume my pages are not getting served as UTF-8 if I have this in my meta:
So I guess I need to change this to be:
On every page of the website - will this affect anything else?
That's correct, and no it shouldn't cause any other problems.
super - will do that after lunch. ta
