   We have some smart quotes in some of our feeds that don't display properly in IE. Is there a setting that I need to change somewhere? Here is the feed:

   http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/BIMAOV3OXY.html

   What is weird is that it looks fine on any browser just as a raw feed, but when it's placed in our site the quotes and other such symbols appear all garbled. When I use PHP code it is garbled on both IE and Firefox. When I use Javascript code it's only garbled in IE.

   Any ideas.

   The feed is displayed here:

   http://www.garbc.org

   It's the news posts in the light blue box.

   As an update I believe this has to do with UTF-8 encoding.

   When I switch the IE browser to it, they display fine. However, this is not the default setting for IE. Is there an encoding option I'm missing?

   Well, I solved it. I guess you can keep the solution here if you want. Thanks for the help. ;)

   You need to add a "meta http-equiv" content type to the header of the file that houses the feed:

   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

   Hehe, well done! Most users don't figure this out by themselves :)

   That same line is given to you (along with instructions) on our "Get code" page, by the way.

   Yep, that's exactly where I found it. How convenient.

   Keep up the great work.
