Help please - corruption in Firefox

Hi All,

I have a small collection of pages which display fine in IE but in
Firefox there is a weird string at the top of the page. I'll paste it
here but I'm not sure how it will come through....

appears right at the top of the page. If I check the source, it appears
in the source code as such:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC...

The same page display fine in IE as I said, and the extra three
characters do NOT appear in the source.

The pages are displayed fine when opened locally - the fault only shows
when they are uploaded to the server.

Any suggestions or requests for further information will be greatfully
received.

Thanks,

Boggy.

It's an UTF-8 BOM (google it for a more detailed explanation what that
is), remove it from the file/possible scripts generating it. A decent
text-editor should do the trick.

Rik,

You're a hero!

Cheers, it was actually in the html pages, rather than the css as I
first suspected, but with a quick run through, I'll have them all fixed.

Thanks a load!
