When I go to http://www.alternet.org, SM crashes every time. It didn't
used to a few days ago. I have tried with and without Adblock plus
1.2.1. Makes no difference.
When I use Prefbar 5.1.1 and change the User Agent to "IE",
js:useragent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)";
appname="Microsoft Internet Explorer"; appversion="4.0 (compatible; MSIE

or "IE UA"

.NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center
PC 6.0)
everything works OK.
When I run the URL through the HTML URL Validator,
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.1
it says "Sorry this document can not be checked", and gives an error
message;
Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 223 it
contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (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.
The error was: utf8 "\xC8" does not map to Unicode
Does anybody else get the same results?
Is this bad sniffing combined with a coding error?
TIA

I have no problem viewing the page without any spoofing.
The page validates with 156 errors if I force the W3C validator to use
iso-8859-1 character encoding. However, the<head> section explicitly
states UTF-8 encoding. There are also 78 CSS errors.
The problem is that, at line 223, the bytes x(c8) appear. This is an
upper-case E with a grave accent and is not allowed as such in XHTML
with UTF-8 encoding.
Overall, this page is garbage. I'm surprised that I was able to view it.
David:
Thanks for the additional verification. I've sent them an email with
your results (minus the "garbage" quote.)
