    Still seeing some problems with special characters being changed. Below one example at hartanovteam.com/idx/residential/S570373/details.html is not showing apostrophes, but '
    Same problem at the entry (non-details page short description that shows "If you&aposre looking for a beautifully…"


    If you're looking for a beautifully maintained home in lush, serene surroundings then you've hit the jackpot! If you enjoy pool swimming you have two community pools to choose from; or if playing in the sea & sand is your favorite activity, you're only short miles from the sparkling Pacific Ocean to enjoy a day of surfing, boating or just relaxing on the warm sand.

    Maybe started since using RETS?

    Hi Drew,

    Yes - it's because the apostrophes are encoded when returned from the RETS server. This is only an issue in IE - it doesn't understand the ' entities ...

    I did a string replace to fix it up on hartanovteam - then I'll do the same on the other socal sites after this..

    Thank you,
    Aaron

    No problem - all 3 of your sites have the fix implemented - I also did the other SoCal Sites in case any other Socal members see this post.

    Looks like it still needs a fix for the headings before you view the details page (like the home for $775,000 at hartanovteam.com/san-juan-capistrano-short-sale-reo-properties.php) as they still have some errors, as well as the info box on the map search as example seen below for Tract Name: Captain's Hill:
