Character Encoding Problem.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 11.2005

This is the start of my html document:

<!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“>

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

When I validate my code I get the message “No character encoding found. Falling back to utf-8.” Below that it reads:

Line 1, column 63: “http:” is not a reserved name

…W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 transitional//EN” [url]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-t[/url]

Line 1, column 63: cannot continue because of previous errors

…W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 transitional//EN” [url]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-t[/url]

Can any one help me figure out what I am doing wrong and how to remedy the problem? Thanks a lot.

@asmythauthorMay 11.2005 — Thanks a lot. I'm also not sure what is wrong with the way I structured the <h5> & <li>, <p>, </ul> tags to get this response from validating my page:


Line 107, column 3: document type does not allow element "h5" here; assuming missing "li" start-tag

<h5><li><a href="www.http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/kinsey/traile



Line 107, column 7: document type does not allow element "li" here

<h5><li><a href="www.http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/kinsey/trailer


Line 116, column 6: document type does not allow element "p" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
