A line of capital A's

A line of capital A's with upside down V appears on my site, but not on my live view - what's up with that? Many thanks

Open your code in CODE view.  This is the offending code that appears on Line 48.

<h2 align="left">                                 </a>

 

For best results in modern browsers, I highly recommend that you switch to a modern code editor (DW CC 2021) and HTML 5 doctype instead of outdated XHTML Transitional. 

 

On lines 1 - 3, replace this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

 

With this:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Unique Page Title</title>

Change to UTF-8 characters and upload your document to server again. Refresh your browser. 

<meta charset="UTF-8">

 

If it persists, post the URL to your problem page so we can see it.
