Would someone please look at my code and tell me what I am doing wrong?
I am trying to validate a page that I'm using the French language in. I've input the character encoding, used "lang"="fr" where I'm supposed to but when I attempt to validate it, I get that same ol' annoying error message:
"Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on lines 17, 25, 29, 31, 33 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as us-ascii (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.
And here's my code:
<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

I would appreciate it if someone could help me...it's driving me nuts.
