It's not being "ignored". It just doesn't do what you think. In fact, it doesn't do anything sensible at all. META http-equiv supposedly maps to HTTP headers.

It doesn't even make sense! > http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1 > > See "18.2.2 Specifying the scripting language" for exact details.

(This isn't aimed at you; more at the authors of the document you referenced). -- Nick Kew
