Afternoon all,

 

am validating a site I'm doing for work and have noticed that several times W3C has informed me that I am not declaring a charset and so then defaults to using utf-8. so I refresh the page and do another validation and it says successfully passed! has anyone else had this weird behaviour? I've included the metatags I use below.

 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $pageKeywords ?>" />

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $pageDescription ?>" />

<meta name="copyright" content="© 2010 blah blah blah" />

<meta name="author" content="blah blah blah" />

<meta name="language" content="en" />

does it get twitchy about their not being a space between ; and charset?

I have noticed that as well.

No it just seems to tell me that it cant detect a charset but after a refresh and resubmission it works fine.

 

Well eventually I got all my pages to work and validate ok. Phew
