Chris G <cl@isbd.net> asked:
What are the rules that govern how a browser (Firefox in particular) decides on what Character Encoding to use?
I found this answer: "In the case of conflict between multiple encoding declarations, precedence rules apply to determine which declaration wins out. For XHTML and HTML, the precedence is as follows, with 1 being the highest: 1. HTTP Content-Type 2. XML declaration 3. meta charset declaration 4. link charset attribute " at http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/#Slide0400 Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html tel:+44-844-4437-237 - Webmaster-developer, statistician, sysadmin, online shop builder, consumer and workers co-operative member http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ - Writing on koha, debian, sat TV, Kewstoke http://mjr.towers.org.uk/
