Remember that <META HTTP-EQUIV="..." ...> elements are not supposed to be read by the browser when the browser retrieved the document from a server. Such META elements are for the server to read and use to construct real HTTP header fields (if the server chooses that mechanism). (When dereferencing a "file:..." URL, there is no explicit service, so browsers are probably allowed to read META elements, but they very well might not.) Daniel
