> I hope that you can help me with an XHTML question: > In the XHTML specification, the following appears: > "Note that in this example, the XML declaration is included. An XML > declaration like the one above is not required in all XML documents. XHTML > document authors are strongly encouraged to use XML declarations in all > their documents. Such a declaration is required when the character > encoding of the document is other than the default UTF-8 or UTF-16." > However, when I include the XML declaration: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > as the first line on my page, the latest version of Validator flags this > as an error. If I remove the declaration, and have my DOCTYPE declaration > as the first line, the page passes validation. > Is there a problem with the validator, or should I not be including the > XML declaration. > Thank you for clarifying this for me. > > Tom McGuigan >
