    Default strange characters in internet explorer only

    Hello everyone, this is giving me mad!

    I changed all my store for utf-8, database, languages, etc. ..

    In firefox, safari, chrome, everything works beautifully, in internet explorer the seats appear exchanged for strange characters ... as is: é

    Some help? Please? As I perused the whole forum but I see no solution, can be some fix for internet explorer? Because for other browsers its ok.

    Thanks.

    Note that IE was behaving correctly in rejecting utf8 as an invalid charset (and defaulting to 8859), the other browsers were guessing and so hiding the error.

    Running the page through the W3C validator
    http://validator.w3.org/
    would have picked this error up.

    Ensuring all your code is valid helps a lot to stop cross-browser issues like this.
