HTML Validation Error: Windows-1252 #18

Open chrisc6 opened 6 years ago

chrisc6 commented 6 years ago

Error: The character encoding was not declared. Proceeding using windows-1252.

This is the error I get when I am checking my resume html. I am not sure what it means.

The solution is to replace charset=windows-1252 with charset=UTF-8 in a <meta> element in your HTML-file's <head> element.

The solution is to replace charset=windows-1252 with charset=UTF-8 in a <meta> element in your HTML-file's <head> element.

Even if it is specified, there will be the exact same error message if it is too far into the HTML document (about 1024 bytes). For example, too much white space in the beginning and/or an HTML comment in the beginning that is too long. Ask me how I know. See also this.
