The XHTML1.0 specification > also gives prioity to META tags over HTTP headers. Actually the W3C specifies exactly the opposite. From <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html>: | To sum up, conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when | determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to | lowest): | 1. An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field. | 2. A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a | value set for "charset". | 3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external | resource. nd --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
