It isn't doing any harm, it's just redundant and adds confusion as you do have an XML declaration, a real one, on line 1. This dummy XML declaration quotes a different character encoding which make one wonder which character encoding you wished to really use. > > Your initial post hit the list Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:30:07 +0300. > > My reply went out Fri, 10 Apr 2009 08:49:20 +1200. > > Sorry, I didn't mean to step on any toes.

I just pointed out that it hadn't been a week without a reply as you had claimed. I still don't intend to get emotional over it. > > Which version of IE are you using?

Shouldn't the > doctype declaration do that? It should be fine in that respect, i'll have a look at it cross browser, later. You should also look at your pages in IE6 as the real XML declaration does drop this page into quirks mode.
