XHTML 1.1 Note

viper2843 · Post by **viper2843** » August 11th, 2003, 8:34 am

I am trying to get a page to validate in XHTML 1.1 and the W3C validator says I am validated but below it give me this wierd note:

<blockquote>Note: The HTTP Content-Type header sent by your web browser (unknown) did not contain a "charset" parameter, but the Content-Type was one of the XML text/* sub-types (text/xml). The relevant specification (RFC 3023) specifies a strong default of "us-ascii" for such documents so we will use this value regardless of any encoding you may have indicated elsewhere. If you would like to use a different encoding, you should arrange to have your browser send this new encoding information.</blockquote>Can someone explain this to me and if I need to do something, tell me. Thanks.

What does the 'Content-Type" meta tag of the page look like.

My pages (which validates) have ones that look like so:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></meta>

You might be missing the "charset=iso-8859-1" part. I've never recieved that error, but this is my first guess.

Here is my entire head section:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Date Script Test</title>
</head>
