..For the Cotent box on my website, I'm using an include content line

PHP Code:


			
<? if($id) { include("content/$id.html"); } else { include("content/home.html"); } ?>

I've never seen this before and i've used this line many times, I can't see where it's coming from, This symbol of three letters are being displayed above the content when it shouldn't be there.

Thanks mate,

But I didn't see an answer that soloved his problem?

I see the (Byte Order Mark) in my source code in the broswer but not in my files,

?

As in the suggested reference above, the symbols are probably within the included html files. Someone says that a MS editor sometimes generate those strange charactures without showing in the source code.

Find

Code:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />

replace with

Code:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

Enjoy!

well, for whatever reason you have an extra <head></head> immediately after the BOM so I would be looking at where that came from for the answer.

Good Suggestion, I know where the Extra head tags coming from. It's the external content pages but it's not the problem, I've looked at a content page withou the Head tags and the BOM symbol is still there..
