In this case the parts of the actual source is in a character format not supported.</p> Wed, 18 Oct 2000 20:58:04 +0000 Adam Oberdorfer comment 1072993 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/challenge-you-all#comment-1072948 <p>Interesting.</p> <p>But then, why are their some lines in proper English? </p> <p>I've had such gibberish in files when I uploaded them in the wrong format - like when you upload HTML or Perl as binary instead of text.</p> <p>Anat</p> Wed, 18 Oct 2000 12:56:24 +0000 anat comment 1072948 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/challenge-you-all#comment-1072887 <p>Well.....you guys are smart!</p> <p>It got the best of me, so I contacted Chamberware and the problem was that they are missing a Windows printer driver ("Generic/Text Only").</p> <p>Congratulations!</p> Tue, 17 Oct 2000 01:34:02 +0000 Cactus comment 1072887 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/challenge-you-all#comment-1072881 <p>It looks like the characters are non-standard. In fact it references HP LaserJet drivers a few times, as Greg pointed out.</p> Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:40:27 +0000 Adam Oberdorfer comment 1072881 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/challenge-you-all#comment-1072880 <p>Adam, did you see the squares when you looked at the site? If it were the browser's fonts, it wouldn't be everyone's browser. Surely someone would have the proper font installed.</p> <p>Weird, huh?</p> <p>I'm thinking that someone botched up Chamberware somehow...</p> Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:29:41 +0000 Cactus comment 1072880 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/challenge-you-all#comment-1072879 <p>The site was created using “ChamberWare Auto Web-Generator”, which is obviously a top-notch program. Usually the character problem (all the squares) is caused by corrupted fonts or characters not supported by your browser.</p> Mon, 16 Oct 2000 23:58:41 +0000 Adam Oberdorfer comment 1072879 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/challenge-you-all#comment-1072877 <blockquote class="bb-quote-body"><p>Quote: <em>Originally posted by Cactus </em><br /> <strong>What do you think caused the outcome on the following site:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.breachamber.com/directory/CW_1050.HTM" class="bb-url">http://www.breachamber.com/directory/CW_1050.HTM</a></p> <p>It is a Chamber of Commerce site and all of the members' names are really messed up.
