Really, it's Netscape? That's funny, cause I still have that problem in
Lynx and Amaya as well. Not QUITE the same problem, but rather than
displaying the ? it displays nothing at all, not even a space. I've come
across that in my editor as well where it will display a space instead of
the ' or " char (can't remember which).
I receive Word files regularly (mostly from Macs), which I sometimes
convert with staroffice on linux and sometimes I switch to MS and save
them to HTML using the genuine article (Word on Windows). No kidding,
I'll load it up in my editor and find space in place of '. The space I
just cut, and click replace with a ' in Blusfish HTML editor on Linux. So
it is a misplaced ASCII code, what code I'm not sure, I never bothered to
look.
So I'm afraid the problem is only partially with Netscape. MS is partly
to blame. I just converted a site that was generated with Frontpage and
what a mess of code that was...but it bore the same problem. It looks
like both Netscape and MS have some work to do...naw, just MS :) If they
wrote the code correctly then Netscape would display it correctly!
