charset problems!

[eluser]Tomas Sundvall[/eluser]
Hello!

I have a really weird problem right now. In my page header, I set this:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=latin1" />

The reason why I use latin1 instead of utf-8 is because all the codeigniter files are coded in ANSI, and if I set utf-8 as content type, the special Swedish chars won't work properly.

So far so good, but when I use the validation class I get this strange output "" before my own. I really can't understand why!

Does anyone have a clue?
