    <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jsFXC.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I'm having a very strange problem with IE8 where the paragraph text is cropping up strange angular symbols seemingly at random. Here is a sample of the source code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html class="html"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/&gt; &lt;meta name="generator" content="7.1.329.244"/&gt; &lt;title&gt;Friends of Hartpury School Promises Auction 2014&lt;/title&gt; &lt;!-- CSS --&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/site_global.css?4151054444"/&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/master_a-master.css?428943956"/&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css?308194328" id="pagesheet"/&gt; &lt;!-- Other scripts --&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; document.documentElement.className += ' js'; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix" id="page"&gt;&lt;!-- column --&gt; &lt;div class="position_content" id="page_position_content"&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix colelem" id="pu196"&gt;&lt;!-- group --&gt; &lt;div class="browser_width grpelem" id="u196"&gt;&lt;!-- group --&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix" id="u196_align_to_page"&gt; &lt;div class="clip_frame grpelem" id="u203"&gt;&lt;!-- image --&gt; &lt;img class="block" id="u203_img" src="images/friends-of.png" alt="" width="126" height="122"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clip_frame grpelem" id="u197"&gt;&lt;!-- image --&gt; &lt;img class="block" id="u197_img" src="images/banners.png" alt="" width="214" height="64"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clip_frame grpelem" id="u199"&gt;&lt;!-- image --&gt; &lt;img class="block" id="u199_img" src="images/banners.png" alt="" width="214" height="64"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clip_frame grpelem" id="u277"&gt;&lt;!-- image --&gt; &lt;img class="block" id="u277_img" src="images/header.png" alt="" width="604" height="248"/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix colelem" id="u276-11"&gt;&lt;!-- content --&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="nonblock" href="index.html"&gt;THE AUCTION&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;| &lt;a class="nonblock" href="tickets.html"&gt;TICKETS&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;| &lt;a class="nonblock" href="rules---submit-bid.html"&gt;RULES &amp;amp; SUBMIT BID&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="rounded-corners clearfix colelem" id="u375"&gt;&lt;!-- group --&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix grpelem" id="u376-8"&gt;&lt;!-- content --&gt; &lt;p id="u376-2"&gt;Welcome to our Promises Auction website where you can see the fabulous promises that have been donated by friends, family, local and national businesses to support our school.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="u376-4"&gt;A huge thank you to all our sponsors!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="u376-6"&gt;All funds raised will go towards our Hartpury IT 21st Century appeal.

    1. COYou mean the symbol that looks like a little `L`? Well that’s in your actual source code that you posted here … if you don’t want those characters, then why do you put them in there …?

    3. COThe first one is right here, `<p id="u376-2">Welcome to our Promises Auction website where` before the word `where`. And if I copy&paste your HTML and feed it to the HTML validator, it says those are invalid UTF-8 code sequences (which is why I can post the actual character here in comments as well, although I see them in your source code – and which is most likely why other browsers don’t display them). Use a HEX editor or something to look which character that actually is at that position in your source code.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
