BTW: Do you know of Bjoern Hoermann's perl module HTML::Encoding? http://search.cpan.org/~bjoern/HTML-Encoding-0.52/lib/HTML/Encoding.pm This perl module, which seems to be used by validator 0.8+, helps to determine the encoding of HTML and XML/XHTML documents, especially, if there isn't any default encoding information provided by the webserver or the document itself. Maybe this module or the information concerning this module can give you any more help. Sierk -- Sierk Bornemann email: sierkb@gmx.de WWW: http://sierkbornemann.de/
