Where is this data from?

 Because these strange charcters has been replaces with the correct ÆØÅ characters.

This is what is show on the page:

"197 cm. Med læder på alle slidflader. Kan ogsÃ¥ bestilles i cognac og kastaniebrun læder til samme pris. Stel i massiv bøg. Stel fÃ¥s ogsÃ¥ i eg eller bejdset mod tillæg."

It is the productshortdescription. But a quick LIKE '%Ã¥%' search in the table, says there are no rows in the database with this text. Yet is keeps showing this on the webpage.

http://www.danbomoebler.dk/produkter/sofaer.aspx?GroupID=&PageNum=2&show=Sofa

Even if you try to edit the product, these no-longer-existing characters show up.

Then I thought, this must be because it runs on a completely different database. I checked the database settings. Everything was OK and it does use the database I edited. Then I did something radical.

I put the product name into the field that is shows in the yellow splash on all products. Now all products showed the product name in the yellow thingie. Except the ones with no-longer-existing characters????

What in the world databse does these product informations come from?

I was told, this was of a "to technical" character, for the support to handle (?) and I should post it here.

This is what you have in your database:

<p>197 cm.&nbsp;Med l&aelig;der p&aring; alle slidflader. Kan ogs&Atilde;&yen; bestilles i cognac og kastaniebrun l&Atilde;&brvbar;der til samme pris. Stel i massiv b&Atilde;&cedil;g. Stel f&Atilde;&yen;s ogs&Atilde;&yen; i eg eller bejdset mod till&Atilde;&brvbar;g.</p>

From an import maybe?

It looks like a ISO to UTF-8 encoding issue. Your export might send something to and ansi file which is imported as utf-8 and html encoded after?
