That person is plainly wrong. You must not use different values in "Content-Type" HTTP header and in "Content-Type" META tag. 1. The HTML spec explicitly says that the HTTP header takes priority. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html#h-5.2.2 2. Actually different browsers behave differently. Some may fall back to autodetection. (You may guess what browsers do not follow the specification). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
