Is there a way to get around those little annoying squares that pop up sometimes after having adjusted spacing 2 or 3 paragraphs down the page? I'm still using HTML editor 2007 (that's another issue) and from time to time I'll be adding content like crazy, adjusting spacing here and there using either the paragraph button or a hard break, upload my content to the server and "Bam!", there's a bunch of little squares everywhere. Sometimes I have to go remove spaces with the deleted key then put them right back for each space I need. Sometimes I just adjust one space out and they all go away. I think that comes from starting at the top usually and everything adjusts up. It's not a dependable approach though. I've even seen other websites lately that have the same issue I think. Anyway, not a HUGE deal; just annoying.

This could have been caused by not having the correct doctype or charset declaration, but to be sure it would be better if we could have an url to your site and see for ourselves.

I also strongly advise you to update your Editor to the newest version.

I am seeing the same thing and it is more than annoying. When I bring it up in the Coffeecup preview pane, all is well. But once I load it to the website the squares pop-up.

Here is the url:

Any help is appreciated.

On the third line of your html you have this:


Change it to this, which is the Western European character set.

It appears that you're editing a page that was created with a Microsoft product of some sort. The source shows that the space characters at those locations have an incorrect code. I'd think that you could easily fix this in the HTML Editor by noting the precise locations of these characters and then deleting them, replacing each one with the proper space character.

Edit: each of the 'splats' in your file actually consists of three characters: � They're very easy to find and correct in the editor. You can even do a search & replace to make it easier!

A representative line looks like this:

That would be the HTML Editor's visual mode.

Oh - saw the MSxxx and guessed that it was a Microsoft thing. Thanks for the correction...

Thanks very much for the fix!
