I'm just getting started using HTML and CSS and designing web pages. A friend asked me to do some corrections on her website somebody else made some time ago. Using HostGator as my server (also the one the web page uses) I accessed the original HTML file, copied all the content, created a new HTML file in the same location as the original (using a different name though), pasted everything I copied to the new file, changed a few things in the text and a few logos, and I got the exact same page with the changes I wanted –as long as I'm on Safari or Google Chrome everything works perfect. The problem is when I use Firefox or IE, no matter what version of each, the option for language doesn't display correctly –instead of having the English(ON)/Spanish(OFF) option, the spanish doesn't appear.

The link for the original page is
http://www.santelmoproductions.com/feedback2.html
And the one I edited
http://www.santelmoproductions.com/feedback2.html

Also I don't know if it has anything to do with this problem, but I added to my page

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

so it's always read in UTF-8 –I was getting weird characters like "â€" otherwise.

Any idea of what can I do to make the language option appear on all browsers?

Thanks in advance.
