Strange codes/signs admin/login

Hello!
I have very strange problem with very strange signs inside my login admin page:

Have found very similar problem when click on product image/larger image and when pop -up i see almost the same signs:



View:

Because that view of my website is messed up,the letters are much bigger then it must be and align of my shop is left instead middle of page.
Using other browsers,like mozilla and netscape there are no problems with view of webpage,sure signs on admin/login page and when click on product image/larger image,signs are stil there.

What i have tried is changing template and used other language,but this wil change nothing.

Where should i look next,which files to look in? :cry:
Ty all hope for help:smile:

Hello haredo,
ty on reply and trying to help,but if i type that signs inside developers tool kit i wil get nothing back as result.It is something what i didnt typed,this strange signs is actualy result of that typo mistake i need to find.

What i found it now is actualy that problem must be somewhere inside admin area probably,because changing template and no changes means all good with costum template files and changing language exlude problem with language files too.

Here you can see it inside admin,doesn matter what link you clcik on inside admin,it wil be stil there in that corner :

Think this wil be very difficult to find :shocking:

Re: Strange codes/signs admin/login

That's a fairly common error. It can be caused by "gremlins" -- odd characters inserted into the file by your editor. Often it's the result of editing a php or css file using a word processor instead of a proper text editor. Unfortunately I don't know the most likely places to track it down. I've seen other ansers here on the forum about this problem, but as is often the case, it's very difficult to find them when you need them.

Hello Stev,
Thx for joining this conversation,probably you have right,because in the last days im trying to change alot and geting very tired after hours working on it as result losing control on what im doing :)

Re: Strange codes/signs admin/login

What have you been using to edit the files? Try opening the files you edited most recently in a good text editor like Notepad++ or Crimson Editor. Sometimes the text editor will display the odd characters added by other editors. Winmerge may also find them.
