It is very important that the character encoding of any XML or (X)HTML document is clearly labeled, so that clients can easily map these encodings to Unicode. This can be done in the following ways:
a.. Send the 'charset' parameter in the Content-Type header of HTTP. Example: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 To do this you will need to have access to server settings or serve your document via scripting (see Setting the HTTP charset parameter for more information). b.. For XML (including XHTML), use the encoding pseudo-attribute in the XML declaration at the start of a document or the text declaration at the start of an entity. Example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> For more : http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset Ai ling Cai Graphic & Web designer B. www.goodmorning-italy.com W. www.ailingcai.com M.

Meta tags could provide a link to an accessibility statement giving keyboard shortcuts. Some Meta tags duplicated. <meta http-equiv="expires" content="01 apr 1995 01:10:10 gmt" /> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" /> I'm don't think that the javascript is necessary and what effect will it might have on accessibility or bots who will not read it, a screenreader? The javascript at the page bottom could be linked to in the header as an external file! Why is the charset=utf-8 ? I may be wrong but isn't is better to use: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" /> Have they found a way to dismantle that concrete steel sprung monolith at UTS yet?
