HTML Validator problem

#1 July 20th, 2005, 05:26 PM

Hi
I am trying to validate a web page using the W3C HTML Validator, but the
validator keeps saying that it cant detect a character encoding.
Here are the first few lines:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML lang="en">
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; ISO-8859-1">
<title>Agenda Setting</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme/style.css" type="text/css">

</HEAD>
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Pls help,
B.F.

Should be:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

Even better would be to configure the server to send the correct
information, but the above will do for the moment to allow you to validate.
