malibujamba Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Validation Problems with ASCII CharactersOne of the requirements of XHTML-Strict validation is to code certain characters in ASCII syntax. Below is a list of characters and the ASCII equivalents that must be used to achieve proper validation.& = &< = <> = >...I think I have a simmular problem. When I type the letter (e) with the character (') on it so like this: (é). I see a questionmark instead of the (é) in the browser, does someone has a selution for this?

Ingolme Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You can put this meta tag in the head of the document so that the characters show correctly:XHTML:<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xml+xhtml;charset=iso-8859-1" />HTML:<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FirefoxRocks Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You use entities to display accented and other different characters. For é, it is & eacute; (without the space)Also, the above meta tag for XHTML is wrong. It won't actually do anything and you should use the bottom one for both HTML and XHTML.

Ingolme Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The XHTML tag is working properly for my website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
