Re: quite a big bug in DOM

To make it extra clear, what is outputted where the &nbsp; is are 2 bytes: ascii codes 194 and 160. The 160 is the spacing character that is expected, but the 194 (the letter A with a ^ on top) is pretty magical and annoying. Some other (but not all) HTML-characters (e.g. &euml;) seem to have the same problem, but they output other bad characters. I've tried playing with a <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf8"></head> in the HTML-data while changing the characterset, but nothing changed.
