Hi, So I have made it 'strict' HTML, but it is now giving me some rubbish about character encoding. OK I have not added it because when i do it seems that it can't be validated.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd "> <html> <head> <title>Worcester Community Housing | Rewards</title> I left the gap because that is where I have tried to put this line: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> What gives, I can't even pass 100% before writing anything!
