Hey All,

I have added a javascript RSS news feed to a page and for some reason each instance of an apostrophe is converted to a question mark.

there's converts to there?s, it's converts to it$s, etc. etc.

Here is the entire code from the page. Is there anything I can do?

CODE
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>BARBECUE WORLD NEWS</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
