Cheers, Gene. After reading the exhaustive W3C tutorial on encoding I wound up not delcaring it in the CSS after all.
I'm also using Source Edit (a free Windows hex/text editor) to delete the invisible single character entity that Notebook and other editors like to insert at the start of file. -----Original Message----- From: Gene Falck Paul wrote: >And how do you get around the UTF-8 signature or byte order mark (BOM) >that some editors add to the document? I see you already have some replies on this BOM bit. For looking over your file format (and also simply deleting the BOM) you might also try a utility like XVI32.exe which displays your file character by character along side the hex values. Anything that your editor puts before the DOCTYPE will put you into quirks mode so the BOM (and anything else the editor inserted at the beginning of the file) can and probably should be deleted. I like XVI32 a lot because I don't have a lot of files to run in batch and I was curious what was happening. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
