xhtml head infoby "Maren Child" <maren(at)wordsworth.com.au> |
|
Is this correct for the head section of an xhtml document? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!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"> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head> I've read somewhere that some browsers can't cope with the xml version statement. I'm working on annual reports for government departments and they say they still have a significant number of users on netscape 4.7, ie5 and ie5.5, and even ie3. We use a lot of special characters eg – — … etc. and I guess the iso-8859-1 is there to make sure they will be displayed properly? Thanks Maren
