I've got a couple of webpages that I am trying to validate but I get this
error message when trying to validate them with the www.w3.org HTML
validator:
I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the
valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is
impossible to validate the document. The sources I tried are:
a.. The HTTP Content-Type field.
b.. The XML Declaration.
c.. The HTML "META" element.
And I even tried to autodetect it using the algorithm defined in Appendix F
of the XML 1.0 Recommendation.
Since none of these sources yielded any usable information, I will not be
able to validate this document. Sorry. Please make sure you specify the
character encoding in use.
What am I doing wrong? They are just simple html files typed up in Notepad.
Why can't it detect them? I have tried validating both the uploaded version
and the local version and I get the same error both ways.
