With UTF-8 a byte-order mark is not necessary. However, Dreamweaver CS3 allows you to include one in your files. Check your PREFERENCES -> NEW DOCUMENT settings and DESELECT the "Include Unicode Signature (BOM)" option. It is only required with UTF-16 and UTF-32.
Now, as far as the files you have that already have it in them, you will want to use a GREP program to strip them out, or manually open them as binary files in a a program such as TextPad, MultiEdit, etc., that will allow you to "see" the hidden characters at the beginning of the text. ...Rob ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
