I've just gone back through the thread to see if I've missed something, and as far as I can tell, this is the first time anyone has explained that your complaint is about the validator handing characters which don't appear in the selected character encoding differently between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. (Rather then assuming people would spot that particular difference between the error reports). So, while switching to ISO-8859-1 would be a quick hack to solve that issue, wouldn't it be better to cause that behaviour to occur in all encodings? -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ http://blog.dorward.me.uk/
