More On Alt Tag Question

OK, Captain  -  help me understand this if you would.


When validating "./" with the W3C validator, it said to add the
following META tag.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">


I did.  After adding this tag, the page validated & displayed correctly with
MSIE 5.5.


I then checked the page  with NN 4.6 just to see that all was OK there as
well & at that time I discovered the offset,  truncated Alt tag problem.
Just for the heck of it, I uploaded a  version of "./"  without the
above META tag.   This page ("index2.html") displays correctly using NN 4.6.

It seems to me that this META tag is causing the problem.  Can this possibly
be true???
