the title very much describes the question, the html standard says explictly that the only value acceptable for meta charset tag is utf-8, and even the nu html checker throws an error if any else value is used. But it also throws another error at the same time saying " Internal encoding declaration iso-8859-1 disagrees with the actual encoding of the document (utf-8). ". I used the value 'iso-8859-1' in the meta charset this time.
If the only value we can use is utf-8 i just can't understand the need to state this as a rule to follow......
the html standard itself doesn't says much about this, and the encoding standard of whatwg is too technical for me to read and find out myself so i need help
