Usually, I put this at the top of my websites: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"> I have never built a site in a non-English character set. What do I need to know/do differently? (knowledge or linkage appreciated) Thanks, Erika
