I am making changes to my website, and I just noticed that things look different. In IE, the content doesnt center, theres a margin on my content, and the font looks bigger in chrome..
I ran it through Yahoo's HTML validator and the error I get is line 1 - Error: character "" not allowed in prolog. I believe that there may be some sort of whitespace being sent before the DOC TYPE, but I cant seem to fix it. The HTML looks fine in my text editor (Notepad++) so I dont know what the problem is. Im using a strict DOC Type. Everything was fine before I made any changes, but I cant pinpoint what caused the change.
If it helps, I'm using a Framework (Kohana). My initial thought was that something was being sent to the browser by an echo or something, but I couldnt find any echo statements.
I dont know what could be causing this... If you want to see any code or HTML just ask.
Thanks.
Heres the HTML (only head and doctype) via the page source in Google Chrome
There seems to be some foreign characters in the source that I've never seen before, yet dont show up anywhere else (yahoo, or otherwise)
