Hi Kevin,

Now, I *have* come across this one. In my case, the editor I was using
(Homesite) erroneously added a "Byte-order mark" (BOM) at the start of
any UTF-8 encoded page. I think Windows Notepad does this too.

It looks like you have UTF-8 encoded files that somehow get translated 
to an ASCII-based encoding. When converted to ASCII-based code, the
BOM translates into three non-display characters. Some FTP programs 
default to ASCII when they upload. You might check this first.

The BOM does have an effect on CSS, because some (older?) browsers
kill the first rule in the style sheet when this mark is present.

Make sure your FTP client is set to send all files as "binary".

Cordially,
David
