HI
Hope someone can help me here...
Just tried to run my site through W3C Validator, and it says I have a "Character Encoding mismatch"
The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is different from the value in the <meta> element (windows-1252). I will use the value from the HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation
True, I have a META Tag that says
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></meta>
so do I change it to
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-utf-8"></meta>
and if so, what will thiss affect?

See if this link clarifies things:

Mine's set up like:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Roxane -- the "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-utf-8">" will work and won't mess up anything ... I'm using the same tag DMX is using.
Perhaps this might help you -- http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/csettables.html
