2004-07-23: Markup Validator v0.6.7 Released
Released version 0.6.7, a maintenance release that fixes a few minor bugs, improves authentication proxying, and makes some slight tweaks to the website style and markup.

Seems that AddDefaultCharset On (via .htaccess) is no longer supported, at least from my 2 servers.

<added> Actually, the Val isn't detecting Charset no matter how it's declared, from any server (including WW)

It's detecting the charset fine on sites I've looked at (including sites using a default charset in .htaccess). Note that pages on WebmasterWorld.com don't send a charset (oops!).

All my sites are at the same host. The only others I tried were WW and Yahoo. Since my sites validated 2 days ago with no updates after that, I figured it was the Val.

I notice you're using

AddDefaultCharset On

to specify Apache's default charset of ISO-8859-1. Have you tried specifying the charset explicitly?:

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

The above is what I'm using on the site I tested, and the validator accepted it without problems.

<added>Did you check that the charset was specified in the header using the WebmasterWorld site header check tool? It could be your host has done something silly with their Apache config (unless you set it up yourself!)</added>

Thanks encyclo,

Yeah - I've tried:

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

- and -

AddType 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1' html php

Neither pass the Charset. WW header checker doesn't show it any longer either, however if I remove the www. in my domains, it does. So I guess my host "has done something silly."
