hubbs,
Smart quotes from MS Word are a different charset (windows-1252). To
have them correctly displayed you'll need to set your page to this
charset and also check that your server accepts it (Firebug can tell
you that).
However, I'm dealing with a similiar problem... I'm using ISO-8859-1
both in mi pages and my server. Special characters ("á", "ñ") are
display correctly but when I try to send them through $.ajax they are
displayed as strange symbols as if the charset is UTF-8.
I'm clueless.... if anyone has any idea, please let me know.
Thanks,
Pablo
