Hi all, The "'" code works perfectly on all recent versions of Opera, Firefox, Google Chrome etc.
Only Internet Explorer has a problem to interpret XHTML doctype declarations, and shows the named character ' as "&apos", instead of showing the "'" character. This is a well-known and well documented problem. W3C suggests authors to use ' (or ') instead of ' to work as expected in user agents that do not support XHTML (such as IE!). Best regards, Geert.
