Hallo Caryl,

Put this in the head of your document: after the<title.blablabla< title>
(this must be the first tag within the headtag) like this..

<head>
    <title>blablabla</title>

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

This is a xhtml tag, ending must  be ...-1"> in html 4.0  You can try it
out, but it must validate, as I could validate my pages this evening in the
updated w3c-validator.

I hope it helps

Greetings
Ineke van der maat
