CPrompt Maniac (V) Inmate From: there...no..there..... Insane since: May 2001	posted 10-07-2002 04:50 OK, well. . . that is what I thought so I am at a loss here. My problem is this: On my site the site validated up until I posted that last thread. If you click on the XHTML validation button, it says "Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 63 it contained some byte(s) that I cannot interpret as utf-8. Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication." When I look at the code, I don't see anythig there that is wrong. No special character. I had some (& quot in there, but took them out and now found out that that is supposed to be allowed. The only thing that I can see is the (& eacute that is in there. But, even taking this out, it still throws this error. So does anyone see anything that is wrong? Thanks in advance.

I set my site up at XHTML, and I am using this DTD

code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

Can someone tell me what the "encoding="UTF-8" is doing? I can't make any sense out of the W3C standards for this.

Link or anything will help.

Thanks in advance.
