Karl, it seems to be the biggest problem when text is copied from MS Word, then sent through ajax. The quotes don't play nice.
The curly quotes from MS Word are in the Windows-1252 character set. You're using ISO-8859-1, which does not have the curly quotes (they don't exist in ISO-8859-1). So even if you work around the UTF-8 issue, you will never get the curly quotes to work properly in ISO-8859-1 (except maybe browsers that auto-detect the charset mismatch and adjust accordingly). So at a minimum, you should change to Windows-1252 character set if you want to support the extended MS characters, but if you're going to switch, just jump to UTF-8 and call it good. - Bil
