It references RFC2046 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046 ) which specifies that text media types (text/***) should be treated as US-ASCII by default. However, if the value of the type attribute should really be treated as a MIME type, it's strange that the script element has a charset attribute since MIME types can also specify a character encoding. example: text/javascript; charset=iso-8859-1 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Degrees online in as fast as 1 Yr - MBA, Bachelor's, Master's, Associate Click now to apply http://yahoo.degrees.infoReceived on Monday, 6 November 2006 05:46:31 GMT |
