Spl Characters Causing Validation Warnings

[showbiz]

Can someone 'splain this to me?

 

I have been running my web pages through the W3C Markup Validation and I get a warning that a special

character (round bullet) • should really be changed to the more widely accepted •

 

However, everytime I make that correction and save my file....the • pops right back up.

 

I am using Dreamweaver (probably should have posted this there...) and then uploading.

 

Is this happening because Dreamweaver doesn't recognize the new symbol code? Should I ignore the validation warnings? Should I choose another symbol? Should I try using another editor?

I find the ASCII HTML codes work the best.

Sorry, I didn't realize my post was translating into the actual bullet.

I was using #149; and switched to #8226 which is on the list you suggested.

 

But, when I make the change from 149 to 8226 and save the file...the 149 pops back up.

 

Do you suppose that is a Macromedia thing???

Sounds like it. You could alway use an image in it's place.

An image it will probably be.

 

Thanks Bruce!
