I have 10 projects that all work fine, except this one. On the top of every page the following appears: ï»¿ , I get the same in IE and FF. So I deleted my build and created a fresh blank (only welcome topic) project in RH8, same result. How can they all work except this one, and it's a new blank fresh project?

Sorry if this has been answered before I have read alot of threads and I can't seem to find an answer that works for this project.

Here is what appears on the top of the welcome topic:

The coding a the top of my topic before compiling:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

You're seeing the Byte Order Mark (BOM).

Ok, so back when I was using RH5 it created HTML pages now with RH8 it creates XHTML pages and thats why all of my old projects work and this new project doesn't, from what I have been reading. Correct?

Something to do with the code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> that is automatically generated with each new page by RH8? Find and replace? Any other permanent fixes? Will this happen with every RH8 project I create? If so, I want my money back because I am going to have to go back to RH5.

It sounds like your server is not set up for UTF-8. You have mentioned ISO8859-1 in your title but not in your post. Is the problem the server setting and can you not change it?

There is an option to output as HTML as well. See Tools > Options.
