Hi Hamish-  I created new copies of gwAuthorizeAIM.asp and the languages file, and then deleted the line on both and then re-typed the line.  It didn't work when I uploaded the new languages file, but it worked when I uploaded the new gwAuthorizeAIM.asp file.  Now the crazy  is gone.  Thanks for the advice!  I would never have thought to do that.]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:45:57 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/card-type_topic2086_post7153.html#7153 <![CDATA[Card Type : It&#039;s a character encoding...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/card-type_topic2086_post7151.html#7151 Author: Hamish

It's a character encoding issue, for sure, but quite what's happening on your page I'm not clear.
Found on another site : 
Quote
The character  is 0xC2 in ISO-8859-1. It is also the first byte of thetwo byte encoding that utf-8 uses to express some characters.

UTF-8 uses a single byte to express all characters with values between0 and 127. Anything character from ISO-8859-1 that has a value between128 and 255 requires two bytes to encode it. Anything between 128 and191 (inclusive) will have a first byte of 0xC2, and if you read it asISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, you will see a Â.

What does this really mean?

This is a Yen: "¥"
This is a Yen, if you read it wrong: "Â¥"

It looks fine, because in ISO-8859-1, a yen is 0xA5. And in UTF-8 a yenis 0xC2A5. So the character looks okay but there's junk at the start.

Nonbreaking space is 0xA0 in ISO-8859-1, and when it comes up in UTF-8it is 0xC2A0. This will look like "Â ". I used the Yen example abovebecause it's easier to see something rather than just a space.


Even if the text in languages.asp looks correct in an editor it MAY contain hidden characters that are being displayed as a space in your editor, but as "Â" by the browser. Try putting a fresh, hand coped copy of the line in the languages file and deleting the existing copy. It's worth a try. ]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:21:04 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/card-type_topic2086_post7151.html#7151 <![CDATA[Card Type : Hi Hamish- Thanks for your reply....]]> https://forum.productcart.com/card-type_topic2086_post7149.html#7149 Author: loracady

Hi Hamish-  Thanks for your reply.  I took a look at languages, but that crazy A is not there either.  Maybe it is just an IE thing.  ]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:07:47 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/card-type_topic2086_post7149.html#7149 <![CDATA[Card Type : Hi, Check includes/languages.asp...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/card-type_topic2086_post7147.html#7147 Author: Hamish

Hi,  Check includes/languages.asp - In the copy I have here the line to look for is :-
dictLanguage.Add "english_GateWay_12", "Card Type: "

BTW - I took a look at your site with Firefox & didn't see the "Â" when I got to the page.

I use authorize.net, and my gwAuthorizeAIM.asp page says,

"Card Type:"

instead of "Card Type:"
 
This weird "Â" is nowhere to be found in the code for this page.  How does it get there and how can I make it go away?
