Hi Denise,
Probably something to do with the character set or doc type.
Might be one of these.

Denise,
As Eric hinted at, there seems to be some inconsistency in your doctype declaration. The first five lines in your page markup are:


I would suggest you replace them with the following:


This should eliminate the first two errors shown by the validator (Eric's link) and the use of utf-8 instead of iso-8859-1 should also eliminate the superfluous "A with a hat" that was the subject of your post.

I think it would also be a good idea for you to take a good look at the remainder of the validation errors. Some of those errors may not show up as a problem in the browser you are using, but they may in some other browser(s).

Replace £ with £

Thanks all. Away from PC this week but will check out on return. The wierd thing is I was downloading the page using FTP and it was showing ok before I downloaded the online version. Then I uploaded it again without doing any editing and it had changed. I don't amend the page much and it's been there for years so not sure what's happened as haven't seen this before.
Cheers for all info. D x

If you haven't got the Pound symbol corrected already, try changing the doctype to html5.
