Document Type Declaration |

| message from Craig Brown on 25 Jul 2004 |
I viewed a site the declared the document "transitional" but when I
attempted to validate it at www.w3c.org I received the response.
"I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the
valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is
impossible to reliably validate the document. I'm falling back to the
"UTF-8" encoding and will attempt to perform the validation, but this is
likely to fail for all non-trivial documents."
My question is: Why make the declaration if the document can't be
validated?
Thanks for any insight.

Was the DTD Declaration valid?

"UTF-8" encoding and will attempt to perform the validation, but this is
likely to fail for all non-trivial documents. Sorry, I am unable to
validate this document because on lines 51, 461 it contained one or more
bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are
not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the
content of the file and the character encoding indication.
