I'm trying to validate a page that begins with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.did>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
....
which fails at this line with:
"CONTENT-TYPE" is not a reserved name
Can anyone help me? TIA.

The syntax is wrong. You should not have /> at the end (that' xhtml
syntax, but your document is html). More importantly, you should set
the content type and charset using real http headers. A search on
Google produced the following document authored by Alan Flavell: http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/...t/ns-burp.html

You're missing a " at the end of the URL in the doctype. Hence the
validator sees something like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"long string" Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
The next problem will be the XHTML <meta /> in an HTML document. Never
use that last / in empty elements in HTML, only in XHTML.

Huh? Whatever tool reported that as a "fail" is talking nonsense.
But Brian's followup makes some valid points you should note.

I think that causes the later error.
The syntax is wrong. You should not have /> at the end (that' xhtml
syntax, but your document is html).
AFAIK, it should still validate as HTML 4 with the _/>.

No, it shouldn't.
<link ... /> is equiv to <link ... >>
While you can have characters in the <body> section of the document (thus
<br /> being valid HTML 4.01 that looks horrible if it does what is
_should_ do), you can't in the <head> section.

Indeed.

Please explain.
Many thanks to all of you. I've embarrassed enough people finding their
stupid typos, that it's only fair turn about for my face to be duely
reddened. Sorry.
BTW, the " />" at the end was added as a "grasping at straws" attempt of
solution. I guess I also overfocused on the statement flagged as the error
and didn't look closely enough at the one(s) preceding it. (Really. I do
know better!)
Another question: In attempting to solve the problem, I did add an
..htaccess file to my root directory with the directive
AddType "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" html
which should specify the charset for files with the .html extension. Will
this also specify for .shtml extensions as well, or do I need a second
directive line with "shtml" at the end? TIA--again.

Or more simply just add shtml to the end of the line above.

Thanks, Steve. And finally (I promise) can I delete the META tag
altogether if the charset is specified in the .htaccess file?
