.htaccess sending headers to browser

[topr8]

according to w3 one of the prefered methods of sending the charset to the browser is by adding the following line to my htaccess file

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

have done this and using their validator, i still get an error warning:

No Character Encoding Found!

any thoughts

Have you tried checking your server's response with a server header checker? (You can use one of many on-line header checkers, or the "Live HTTP Headers" extension for Mozilla and Firefox browsers.)

If your server response includes the charset, then either their advice is bad or their validator has a bug -- It wouldn't be the first time...
