Help
I switched my Doctype to HTML5 in order to update my site and I have a problem concerning accent marks. I've always used iso-8859-1 charset and it seems to work but there was a warning when validating:
Line 8, Column 81: Using windows-1252 instead of the declared encoding iso-8859-1.
… <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
How can I get the accent marks to work correctly?
Thanks in advance.

...and you may have to use html code or character code from here:-

to make the page validate.

Thanks to both of you. It validates fine. The only problem is the contact form (php). Any more ideas?
