  • I’ve just looked at that comment in Firefox 3 and IE8 and couldn’t see any problem.

    Interesting. I’ve got FF3, Chrome, and IE8 and all showing the same problem. The end quote in “Airtran Pure 35,000″ shows up as a box. I know this has something to do with the php smart quotes being on the fritz. Is this some kind of doctype problem?

    Here’s a screenshot – https://www.triplepundit.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wacky-quote.gif

    I had the same problem in a post as well. Everything was straight entered, no MS word or any funny stuff like that.

    Definitely not seeing that. A quick check of the source code shows “Airtran Pure 35,000″ – which seems correct to me.

    I wonder if it’s a browser/OS issue relating to the fact that you’ve got a series on numerals followed by an ASCII code? Have you tried placing a single space between the ‘35,000’ and the ending double quotes?

    I did notice that your <html> line was a tad… unusual:
    <html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">

    Facebook.com?

    Try replacing that line in header.php with:

    <html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

    Yeah, totally weird. On my mac, it looks fine on multiple browsers, but if you look closely you can see that the latter quote is differently shaped than the first one, so it’s definitely trying to be “smart” about something. Just checked the header, and that’s exactly what I’ve got there.

    I do have facebook connect integrated with the site. It’s a plugin. Perhaps its playing games with that header somehow… totally odd.
