i learned html on my own about ten years ago, so i have no formal education or book education regarding website building. i was trying to use the w3c validation tool, and came across the character encoding issue. i wanted to know what this is, and with all the different types of browsers out there, and what not, im just really confused.<!--content-->I put all of this in my header:<br />
<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><br />
<HTML><br />
<HEAD><br />
<TITLE> Your Title Here </TITLE><br />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="EN-US"><br />
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT=" your keyword list here "><br />
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT=" Your Description Here. "><br />
</HEAD><br />
<br />
<br />
The Content-Type tells the browser what sort of Character Set to load for the page; very important if your visitor uses one very different to the one you intend.<br />
