Character sets - validating

[Rodders]

Hi

I am trying to validate a web page I have created. I know I need a DOCTYPE so I have specified HTML Strict.

When I tried to validate, it asked me for "character encoding labelling". What is this, and what do I need to do ?

What else MUST I have on my page before I validate ? Do I need META TAGS ?

Many Thanks

Richard

Yes, you will need to specify which character set you are using. Take a look at http://www.webdevfaqs.com/html.php#validate

Thanks pyro

You can't get a much more straight forward reply than that, it has worked and I have also found out more information about Character Sets.

You bet... Glad it worked... :)
