I think it must have been because of the XML declaration at the top of the page on that site. I hadn't noticed when I typed the declaration at the top of my layout.php file that the code completion added standalone="yes" to the page, and apparently that triggers some browsers to ignore the external documents referenced by the XHTML 1.0 DTD that define character entities. The pages worked fine when they had a meta-tag at the top declaring them to be application/xhtml+xml, but when I added an HTML header for the content-type, Firefox 3 and Opera both complained about the page. Once I changed the page to standalone="no", it loaded fine in all the browsers I tested. I'm not fully ready to switch to the application/xhtml+xml mime-type just yet though. I found some other browser issues (not related to Zend Framework at all) that need to be addressed first. As it is, I think the only remaining issue I know of with using the "correct" mime-type is that any styles I add using the Zend_View_Helper_HeadStyle view helper are ignored by some browsers. That's not a big deal, though, since it is easy enough to save the style information to an external CSS file and include it using the Zend_View_Helper_HeadLink view helper instead. Andrew
