I have been expirencing an html problem?

I have been expirencing a problem that seems to have overtaken several of my webpages. For some reason the letter "A" seems to be breeding on my site. I can set up a perfectly good page and come back a day or two later and the capital A seems to be randomly spread throughout the page, often there are hunreds of "A" in a line messing up the layout completely. I first thought this was a problem associated with using a special character such as a copyright symbol as I first found them whenever I had used that symbol, but lately they are breading indiscriminately. What is causing this? How do I fix it? Please suggestions anyone? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I am finding these random symbols in the code  I am coding the page myself. It is a straight html and I have gone back in 10 times removed the "A" and could find no reason for them to be there. They do not even show up at the same spots. ith ttitude).  I thought my first entry should be a summary of the requirements for becoming a Director. Mary Kay Ash in her wisdom realzed that many hands make light work and that women working together can accomplish all their dreams. She set up the Director program in a way that necessitates a team effort.  To obtain our own unit, we collectively must build our unit to have at least 30 active consultants and have at least $16,000 in production within 4 months beginning August 1st. Monthly production must be at least $4000. As the DIQ canidate, I am allowed only to put in a total of $4,000 over the entire four month period.

    are you coding the page yourself? or ussing some type of generator.. also if it is a myspace page or something to that sort like xanga or bingbox there are html "viruses" or a sort that ppl put into their coding that will mess up other ppls pages

    Hello, Certainly an oddity, it would be useful to know the format of your page, (HTML, ASP, PHP,...?). If its a server side generated page then there might be some buggy code at it, if however its a simple HTML page then only thing that I can think of is the char set you're using, this would imply that your page is not being displayed good enough, some words might as well look scrambled or unreadable. You may it is also a very good practice to specifically set the DOCTYPE [ you may visit: http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html for help on this]

    I am sertain that this is happening when it is posted on a server (if this happens when the file is storred on your comp, then i dont know) Contact your webhost. A lot of times their sites experience problems because they try to block viruses, put ads, etc

    First open your HTML file in a text editor that isn't notepad, and make sure it's fine (you might have some daffy multibyte encoding thing going on). Then, if you use FTP to upload the file, make sure you are using text mode, not binary. If you're coding this on an Internet tool, try copying and pasting it into notepad, removing the A's, and re-uploading it through some other means.

    You should stop feeding them ... if they don't find food, they'll disperse and maintain themselves at tolerable levels.
