Error 'HTML1114: Codepage iso-8859-1 from (HTTP header) overrides conflicting codepage utf-8 from (META tag)

Question

Am updating a website using Expression web4 using Dynamic Web templates. Pages include drop down menues and a calender function using java script. Onmy local test system everything works fine. When I load onto remote webserver I get error  

HTML1114: Codepage iso-8859-1 from (HTTP header) overrides conflicting codepage utf-8 from (META tag)

The functions all work but  <script id="sothink_dhtmlmenu" type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ st_siteroot="www.gwhickman.f2s.com"; st_jspath="/js/stmenu.js"; if(!window.location.href.indexOf("file:") && st_jspath.charAt(0)=="/") document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+st_siteroot+st_jspath+'"><\/script>'); else document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+st_jspath+'"><\/script>'); ]]></script> .auto-style1 { font: normal normal bold large serif; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; font-family: Cambria, Cochin, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; color: #000000; } appear a top left corner of screen and screen formating goes wrong. Any suggestion please.

"Codepage iso-8859-1 from (HTTP header) overrides conflicting codepage utf-8 from (META tag)" means exactly what it says.
The server is issuing a HTTP header that sets the codepage to iso-8859-1.  This will always override whatever codepage you have set in meta tags, and will cause problems with rendering encoded symbols (such as & c o p y ; [spaces added to ensure the characters render]).
The HTTP header is normally similar to:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

and the meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
 The solution is to remove the HTTP header, or to change the page charset in the meta tag to iso-8859-1 (which may introduce other problems).

As for the rest, a link to the problem page is required so that all the CSS, HTML and javascript can be seen interacting - this is explained in the BEFORE POSTING and FAQs sticky thread at the top of the forum:
