Home Theater Forum - View Single Post - Firefox vrs IE character encoding problem

If the "%BD%BE%BF" is visible in the page's View Source, it's more likely on the server side, since the browser is unlikely to insert the extra stuff in that case. (A difference in character encoding would still mean that there would be something before the ".gif" in IE -- except that there might be some "invisible" characters. You might be able to compare the file lengths if you save the HTML from both browsers.) If the Source looks good, but when you try to load the page, the image objects themselves are trying to load the wrong URL, then that points to the browser.

You should try another copy of Firefox, maybe on the machine with IE that works.
