Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8" />
Its seems good practice to do use this meta tag, as I read in this article quoted below, so I wonder why Flare does not add this to the headers. I noticed that 4.0 allows you to add the DOCTYPE to the files, which is great, but I think we also should be able to add the meta tag to the header. I don't think I can add the metag tag via a masterpage, can I?
XHTML
There are two tags - the encoding attribute in the initial XML tag and the charset meta tag (with a final slash). Both tags should be included for cross-browser compatability.
<?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>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8" />
...
</head>
Note: These tags should be included even though XML is theoretically Unicode by default. Not all browsers will parse a page as Unicode unless the meta tag is present.
