Hi everyone, Here is a problem I encoutered, not so much with tidy, but rather with a page not being displayed at all. This may be a little off-topic, but I folks on this list seemed quite knoledgable to me, so I'll try anyways. Here's the problem: I've to a page written in XTHML 1.0, I ran tidy on it, and validated it using WDG-Validator. The pages validates as XHTML 1.0 without warnings and errors. Unfortunately, MSIE 5 is not able to display the page. It keeps complaining about accented characters in the text (chiefly "é"). If i replace all occurences of umlauts and "é" with the respective entities, MSIE complains that the entity é is unknown. (I have specified the charset property). All other browsers I tried (Netscape 4.76 (Win, Solaris, Linux), Netscape 6 (Linux) Opera 5 (Wind), Opera 4 (Linux) had absolutely no problem rendering these pages. As soon as I replace the DTD for XHTML with the one for HTML 4.01 and remove the <?xml version="1.0"?> in the first line of the page, MSIE renders the page flawlessly, too. If you want to take a look, try http://www.club-ceronne.de/index-1.html (XHTML) and http://www.club-ceronne.de/index-2.html (HTML 4.01), these pages differ only in the DTD line. Has anyone encountered this before? What did I miss? Cheers -- Stephan -- Stephan Engelke engelke@gmx.net *** Programming ... by trial and reboot. ***
