Please forgive my flippancy late last night, it was a long night... Well, it all works now. I found that not only were there ¡ characters but also ¿. My code editor seemed to cope all right with lower-case accented letters, but not upper-case which I put in by hand.
Thank you very much.
It seems mean to ask another question but the display of fonts from the feeds seems to vary at random. It would be nice to be able to set them....
Regards
Mike

I have encoded utf8 for this web page.
As it is it does not show some accented letters correctly. If I chang ethe encoding on my browser to
Western 8859 it looks fine. So what should the setting at the top of the file be? Do different rss feeds need different encoding? I think there is a problem here which we did not get to the bottom of, that putting <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
is OK for one feed but not for another.
Can you suggest anything please?
Also - there must be a css command to set the font. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I think I have solved these problems. First by setting my encoding back to iso-8859-1 and not utf-8 the rss feed that I have at present works fine with accents. Perhaps a different feed would not, then if I have to reset the encoding for different feeds it is a pain.
I found that it is very easy to set the font in the messages fed. Just enclose the javascript with a font setting and it sets the feed. So nothing needed in the Javascript.
