Sorry I have a problem with with the fancy left apostrophe showing up in Chrome as well as other special characters. I tried to globally replace the “ with “ but it won’t and it took the question mark errors out of the document but it also replaced the right apostrophe with the left apostrophe as well. Then it broke my javascript text cufon script from working too. Here is my code.

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",replaceall);
function replaceall(){
    var content = document.getElementById("content");
    content.innerHTML = content.innerHTML.replace(/“/g,"“");

}

Here is a link to the page I’m working on: http://reachhighernow.com/?page=attunement

    I would suggest to fix the problem right instead of using a work-around java-script.
    Most of the times the declaration of charset is not right.
    For example in html you have to put this in your head-tag:

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

    IF your pages (html-files, php-files) are saved as utf-8 documents. (this could be also ISO-XXXX, if so, just change the value of the declaration).

    You can look this up in the properties of an document or even change the encoding of the document in your editor (e.g. eclipse, notepad++).
