Chinese Characters all over my website!

[Ashante]

Help!

I bought webspace and have designed a site to put up there. I made it all and wrote the code and it all ran fine locally, then I uploaded it and things started looking a bit funny.

The site is at K a l e i d o s c o p e . E y e s

There are a few problems :

1. There is chinese (or korean or something) writing in the main window randomly all over the place
2. It's not picking up the info from my stylesheets on the main page for the body text, it's black rather than yellow, but shows up in other pages, and the code is the same.
3. Only the first page is transparent, the others are giving a white background, even though I copy-pasted the code to do it for all the pages.

Anyone have any ideas what I've done wrong?

Just looking at the source from that:

http://www.kaleidoscope-eyes.co.uk/site.html

and comparing to the source from this:

http://www.kaleidoscope-eyes.co.uk/main.html

Try looking directly at the source code for those individual pages.

One doesn't have closing head tags or body tags or any class tags or anything like that, the one which does partially work does have class tags. I've no idea exactly where your getting the foreign characters from, but I did notice the lack of inclusion of stuff like this:

You may have to quote to see what's within the code tags, it parse otherwise, because it's me posting it.

Have you tried using the full path to your stylesheet?

Looks good.

I figured out my mistakes.

I didn't realise <p> had to be encased, i thought it meant new paragraph like <br> and didn't need to be closed.
Also, I had saved the html files in unicode rather than UTF-8, that's where I was getting the characters from.
Fixing those problems also fixed the background.

It's strange that you say the one doesn't have closing head and body tags, that was the first thing I checked and they were all there, and I haven't added any - but now it's working. Although I also had a problem uploading the background image initially (using cuteFTP) and had to rename it and reupload before it could work. Maybe the first round of uploads got corrupted somehow?

Sorted now anyway, thanks for the help.

And cheers tef, could be a lot better I was just messing about with some effects on a cool pic I found, but I think I can do better! Trying out some things with some brushes I got off deviantart for next time.
