Problem with DD's "Pausing RSS scroller"

**Uprising54** · 07-17-2009, 10:37 AM

I stumbled across DD's "Pausing RSS scroller," and though that it might be nice to implement in a website i'm working on. After following all the steps, i got the script to run. Unfortunately, it seems as if the PHP file that reads the RSS and converts it into an Array is causing havoc on characters with accent marks in the Feed. When actually looking at the RSS, the characters are fine. Any ideas on how i can fix the problem The code is the following:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>RSS Scroller</title>

<style type="text/css">

/*Example CSS for the two demo scrollers*/

#rssscroller{
width: 550px;
height: 15px;
border: none;
padding: 0px;
background-color: transparent;
}

.rssclass .rsstitle{
font-weight: none;
}

.rssclass .rssdate{
color: gray;
font-size: 85%;
}

.rssclass a{
color: rgb(0, 0, 128);
    font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-stretch: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;
    font-weight: 700;
    letter-spacing: 0;
    line-height: 15px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    opacity: 1.00;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    text-align: left;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-indent: 0px;
    text-transform: none;}

</style>
