Re: Django tutorial part 4: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 22431

Hi.

You need to make sure that file is really encoded as utf8 and containsvalid unicode characters.

Some editors, specially in windows tend to do lot of black magic todisplay characters correctly.

Hi everyone,
I am a Django newbie and started the Tutorial. I followed all steps sofar but I am stuck at the part 4.
So far I've written 3 templates.
*
*
*1.* file:///C:/Python27/Django/mysite/polls/templates/polls/detail.html

<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1>
{% if error_message %}<p><strong>{{ error_message }}</strong></p>{%endif %}
<form action="{% url 'polls:vote' question.id %}" method="post">

{% csrf_token %}

{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}
<input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice{{ forloop.counter }}"value="{{ choice.id }}" />
<label for="choice{{ forloop.counter }}">{{choice.choice_text }}</label><br />
{% endfor %}

<input type="submit" value="Vote" />

<

/form>


*2. *file:///C:/Python27/Django/mysite/polls/templates/polls/index.html


{% if latest_question_list %}

    <ul>

    {% for question in latest_question_list %}
<li><a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">{{question.question_text }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% else %}

    <p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}


* 3. *file:///C:/Python27/Django/mysite/polls/templates/polls/results.html


<h1>{{ question.question_text }}</h1>

<ul>

{% for choice in question.choice_set.all %}
<li>{{ choice.choice_text }} -- {{ choice.votes }} vote{{choice.votes|pluralize }}</li>
{% endfor %}

</ul>

<a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">Vote again?</a>



just like explained in the tutorial.


When I wan to run it on the server I get the error:



  UnicodeDecodeError at /polls/1/

    Unicode error hint

The string that could not be encoded/decoded was: *yes'>��� </*


I see the same when I encode my html files with utf-8 in word.
Unfortunately I don't know how to fix this. I've read many threats butnone of them really helped me to solve this issue.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem and can help me?
