Can you please show me, what standard specifies this <meta > charset=""> format?

All <meta>'s are allowed AFAIK: The META element can be used to identify properties of a document (e.g., author, expiration date, a list of key words, etc.) and assign values to those properties. This specification does not define a normative set of properties. so it's fine to add the charset="" thingy (which Mozilla definitely requires) Derick -- "my other box is your windows PC" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl/ International PHP Magazine http://php-mag.net/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------
