    Alright... I am trying to solve a problem on a family business site...

    http://www.wm-p.eu is hosted by united domains
    http://www.wm-p.de is hosted by t-offline managed server


    Why is it that when visiting the eu domain, you see the pages perfectly, but when you visit the SAME exact pages on the .de domain, characters show up with question marks and the like....???

    The encoding is the same on both servers... the only thing that I can think of is the way the actual server SENDS the data, but it is markup language so it should be handled correctly by the browser..

    Any ideas?

    Damn, that is something I have NEVER seen before, it is certainly something to do with the domains as I can also see the source is 100% the same, how weird. . . .

    I would have said that it is most likely the culture settings being used that is causing the error, esp if data is pulled from a db. Need to ensure all culture settings on both web server and db server are the same to prevent the interpritation of character coding issues.... likewise encode symbols/ special characters into their HTML code rather than straight characters.

    They are 100% static html...

    Culture setting on the server??? Where would that be - I have access via Plesk and that is it...
