This actually brings up a good point/question that I've had. I commonly use HTML 5 boilerplate, and they too have a similar meta tag as above to set the charset. However, while developing along one day, I was seeing an erroneous request hitting the web server (from Firefox). After much debugging and bug searching, I arrived at commenting it out and leaving this note: /* This causes problem with Firefox (double requests) if output comes before the doctype. Use PHP to set the Content-Type and charset, not a meta tag. <meta charset="utf-8"> */ So obviously having output before doctype isn't what's supposed to happen, though it does, and when it does and Firefox suddenly makes double requests for no reason, it's really difficult to pin down. Anyone else see anything like this?
