Solved: Special Text Caractors in webpages
Special Text Caractors in webpages

I am trying to type out the names of my projects which happen to have letters from the greek alphabit. (example: Ωmega) Whenever I insert the Ω letter I get a O on the page. Any way past this?

Using DreamWeaver MX 6.0 (yes, I know it is better to use Notepad. I am just not good enough with HTML and I only want a simple page)

I tried that, and I get this: ©
Is there any other way to display the names like I want without making a Jpeg?

It renders it wrong in Dreamweaver but IE renders it just fine. Hit F12 from in Dreamweaver to preview the output.

OH! Ok, I get it now. I was thinking the "&" was the code, not "&Omega" (told you I am realy bad when it comes to HTML)

Thanx, that worked. And from what you said I could pretty much guess the other codes (&Psi, &Lambda, &Epsilon)
