Hi Mel ... Mmm .. Maybe the browser doesn't know what "charset" (character set) to use? Had a look at the underlying source. Are you able to make these changes to your HTML? (1) Change the <html> tag from <html> to insert the following text before "html" - it reads ExclamationMark followed in capital letters DOCTYPE <!DOCTYPE html> (2) Add a new line after the <head> tag and before the <title> tag to tell it what charset to use, eg "utf-8": <meta charset="utf-8"> Does that help? Cheers, Susan
No problem. It was fun to research. Weirdly, someone on Freepages had a similar issue with gooblygook text last month.
Thanks everyone! Guess I was having a senior moment. :-) When the page that was not viewing correctly online worked in my browser when I d/l a copy, I did not check the source code. The opening html tag, DocType, Head & meta tags and body tag is missing. as well as the closing body and html tag
I got it -- I got it ! Ok try this: Start here: http://www.worldlingo.com/en/microsoft/website_translator.html Put in your URL in the box. On Source Language, put Chinese Traditional. On the right for target language, put English. Hit translate. Results: http://www.worldlingo.com/SYls3jUpdI3LXWldUPPyDSxqZ4Z_jXv7msZbrxpDzkcM-/translate As you will see, it translates AS your page which is (I took out @ below): Oklahoma Surname Registry Surname Validated - Researcher AVENS 05/2005 - EMAIL BOUNCED - Jean Schneider - schneide....brightok.net AVERY 05/2003 - Julia L.

Click to Translate text after this point View Surnames that have not been added to the Alphabetical files So.... Go back to the basics... What charset are you using? I can't see your Source Code so I can't see this. Read: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations.en Make sure in the HEAD everything is specified to 'en' for English. Second, right click on the file and check properties. Third, check your Editor.. make sure everything is ok for charset and English. Set your doctype. I use: <....!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> Should be first line. Nothing else. (Or strict or whichever you use.) Then, Open Head tag I use these two metas: <....meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <....meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> Put those two metas right after Open Head IF you have to, take your page and remove everything but the essential page tags: doctype body open meta title meta charset meta language close head open body put some test text here close body close head Upload just that as a new page and see if it renders. Then, try to add in each of the other Metas you use. Re-upload and check it. Lastly, after adding the metas and Head info back in, validate the page at w3 validator. ( https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri ) Add content. Then, Re-validate. Re-upload and re-check. IF you have all the correct doctype and language metas, and you still have a problem, write to rootsweb and ask them to check for anything set to "Chinese Traditional" language. You know, on metas, I found that a user added double-quote mark put inside a meta's quotes such as content="(see next quote) "Washington PA" (see next quote) "> with the meta ending as "> (so in effect 2 double quotes), can throw things off. Also a missing > on a meta can throw everything out of whack. Also /> on some metas isn't needed. So don't just copy the metas--- really look at each one, character by character, to make sure it is written exactly as it should. I truly hope this info solves your problem---at last! At least we got the "language" verified now. Judy

Rootsweb really doesn't permit anything much beyond straight HTML, which as far as I'm concerned, is bully for them. It makes for much more availablility of server space, and pages written with HTML are every bit as attractive as those written with thingamonungies. Word processing programs like Word Perfect and Word also create HTML pages that are many megabytes bigger than they need to be, so you can have a page that should have been 50 kb taking up 75 MB of space. I suggest a plain simple HTML editor. HTML itself is not hard to learn. You can create a very decent page with the basic text formatting tags and the tags that begin a file - tell you what background and font colors to use and so forth. I had to learn a Unix/ DOS based text formatter in graduate school back in the days before word processing software. It worked exactly like HTML. My genealogy software, Rootsweb, writes web pages with the XML that it builds its databases with, which is also tag based and my pages upload Rootsweb just fine. XML gives classes of text, like dates of birth, their own treatment - like GEDCOMs only different.

I don't use WP for that purpose, but it looks like some encoding got garbled from word-wrapping. I suggest you set the WP document to "landscape" rather than portrait, and see it that clears it up.

Well, I had several canned replies and even one from someone that they must have imported from idiots-vile, U S A, who was brave enough to tell me that someone else was the coordinator of the site I've been in charge of for over 8 years. Next, he told me that Roots wasn't responsible for the Captcha issue, which I know is a lie. In spite of all that, I am not going to go away, and I will not gone up on Bubba at Roots.

Thanks so much, Donna Cooper Donna, The problem has nothing to do with your coding. The Captcha script is inserted by RootsWeb on all RootsWeb Guestbook and Mailmerge form pages to help prevent spam entries. The old Captcha image was very difficult to read, required several attempts to "guess" the correct entry, and resulted in many complaints. Apparently RootsWeb updated to a more readable version, but in doing so, broke the input coding so that even though the correct entry is made, it is not recognized so the form submission fails. I have written to RootsWeb asking them to correct the problem and am awaiting a response. Pat A.

I have not changed any of the code or made any changes that would change any of those pages. This nuisance of a thing just stopped working properly.

Judy, Yes, she had the same results. The kicker is apparently RW can't get them to work either and apparently can't figure out how to fix it, which is pretty sad.
