No, see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#h-5.2.2 [[ Conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to lowest): 1. An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field. 2. A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a value set for "charset". 3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external resource. ]] The validator is behaving according to the specification. -- Olivier Thereaux - W3C http://www.w3.org/People/olivier | http://yoda.zoy.orgReceived on Wednesday, 4 September 2002 08:18:36 GMT
