Hello all, I have played around with the validator a bit more and have come to a few conclusions. addin the line <?xml.... at the top of the file turns it from html transitional into xhtml. I think that we have not made the jump to xhtml so this line should be removed. I actually started reading http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset a bit more closely and discovered that the way I was doing it with the xml declaration at the top has problems see: http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/#declaration So the correct solution is to not have a xml declaration (it isn't xml....) and to have a meta tag that looks like: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" > or <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > The reason it didn't work with my original meta tag was because I didn't have the http-equiv="Content-Type" attribute included. Once I added the attribute and deleted the xml declaration the file validated - when I used "by file upload" in internet exploder - when I used "by file upload" in firefox - when I used "by direct input" in firefox Any thoughts? -- Stuart Galt SGML Resource Group stuart.a.galt@boeing.com (206) 544-3656
