The Steelseries Gauges FAQ
If you think a question is missing from the FAQ, please add it - together with the answer!
Installing and Running
I get funny symbols on the gauges before the degree sign
The Steelseries scripts are supplied in UTF-8 format, if you have edited the files and saved them in another file format, that can be cause.
Another cause can be the hosting page, if that uses a character set other than UTF-8 you can again get character corruptions.
If you are using the Saratoga templates then please take a look at this: from Ken True.
My HTML page gets corrupted when Cumulus processes it
This happens if you have used extended character sets in your gauges-ssT.htm file and then saved it as UTF-8 (as you should). Unfortunately Cumulus does not understand UTF-8 and when it processes the page it will re-save it as ANSI encoded. In this case the only option is to manually edit the gauges-ssT.htm file yourself and replace the tags <#xxxx> with your station data, then save as gauges-ss.htm (in UTF-8 format) and FTP the file to your web site manually.
