Help Please!!! Database Encoding

[Vger]

Erm?? Good luck if that solved it - but you did miss out the previous and following pages on the link you provided, because that advice only covered changes you need to make BEFORE installing Zen Cart.

You are dealing with an already installed website - quite a different thing.

I could be wrong here, but part of the problem may lie within the HTMLArea editor, which is known to "have a mind of its own" when certain html characters and tags are used.

FCKEditor may be a better bet, as is TinyMCE

(I do most of my edits in plain text mode - even if the page is html - so I don't encounter these issues much.)

I do not like HTMLarea too, but even the text editor was displaying the special character the next time I opened the product to edit. If I then saved again the problem reappeared, so I guess it was more of an character encoding problem.

Thanks,
