How do I eliminate apostrophe's appearing as quotations in a WYSI.

I have created templates in Frontpage that allow users to type info into
textboxes and after clicking submit, it transfers all the data to a page for
printing. If someone types an apostrophe in a textbox and clicks submit, it
shows as a quotation mark on the next page. I think it is a bug in the
program. I hope there is a way to get around this.. Any suggestions.

Is it an apostrophe (ASCII code 39) or a "smart single-quote" (ASCII code
239)?

The apostrophe will always display correctly, the "smart single-quote" will
display as a "?" if the page is delivered with UTF-8 character set (this may
be set by the server, and over-rides the setting in your page.)

Or there may be a procedure in the form handler that parses the input
fields and replaces apostrophes with query marks. What are you using to
process the form? ASP? Perl/CGI? FP extensions?
