HTML page encoding problems

I am having some trouble with a website I am creating, I am using Adobe Dreamweaver to just write code in, not using its visual builder. I have code like this in the file:

<button type="button" onclick="addToCart("box")">Add to cart</button>

But when I view this in Firefox and Internet explorer, when I inspect the page using Firefox the code turns to this:

<button pens")"="" onclick="addToCart(" type="button">

The strange thing is when I view the page source in Firefox it shows up correct.

I did try to also declare the encoding with the meta tag as UTF-8, but no luck (Yes I saved it as this before hand in just notepad).

What can I do? EDIT: Im ashamed of myself for not seeing this myself, but in my opinion Dreamweaver isn't very good as an IDE.

This has nothing to do with encoding. Like Munter says, use single quotes.

Viewing the source just shows the code you typed; If you inspect the element you see what the browser thinks you mean, because the code you wrote is invalid.

The easiest fix is to use single quotes in your javascript:

<button type="button" onclick="addToCart('box')">Add to cart</button>
