.. Validating [I have validated many pages. On one page I get the following errorError Line 1 column 0: character "ï" not allowed in prolog.ü/strong>?»¿<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" There are no visible characters in front on the <!DOCTYPE. If I put it on the 2nd line the weird characters still show.I have tried every type of cut/copy/paste into/from working documents into new doc and get the same error.If I copy/paste the code to "validate by direct input" it tests cleanly, but if I submit it to "validate by file upload" I get the error. Here is the stripped code.<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>Education</title><link href="root.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /></head><body></body></html>What can I do to get rid of these invisible characters? I have backspaced infront of the first < also to no avail.Jim Gilmourthesosman@charter.net Follow the instructions athttp://validator.w3.org/feedback.html#errormsg ]
