Hi All,

More questions as I battle to understand stuff about headers and xhtml . . .

My question is about the two alternative meta headers:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> or
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" />

Someone (pretty sure it was Lachlan) said that the "content="text/html;" (or indeed content="application/xhtml+xml;) bit was a waste of time and didn't do anything. So am I best changing it to simply:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"  content="charset=utf-8" />


I would then end up with :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd'>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en'>
<head>
<title>Tester</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="charset=utf-8" />
<head>

etc.

Is that 'sensible'?  Is it 'correct'?

Sorry if this is dumb.
