My question: In writing meta-tags; table summaries; image ALT descriptions, etc. do I need to use the ISO-8859 entity for the Swedish characters (i.e. ä) or can I just write the character as it appears (ä - "a" with an umlaut)? Also, where can I get a complete list of LANG attribute codes - without having to pay for a list from ISO? Thanks Kris Walmsley Institute on Independent Living http://www.independentliving.org
