Hi
I can't complete the code challenge step 4 - set the character set. I have coded as follows, but the programme is saying it's incorrect. What am I doing wrong??
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset"utf-8"> </head> <body></body> </html>

Could you please provide your entire source code?

43,828 PointsHey Vivienne,
I went ahead and removed the source code that you provided of the entire webpage since it made it difficult to view additional responses.
I just wanted the code that you used during the code challenge. No problem though :)
My apologies for note being more specific.
Vivienne Carr
342 Pointsthanks very much to you both. Sorry about the huge copy and paste, doh.
The code bothxp provided worked, thank you. I still don't really understand why mine didn't, I thought it was the same as bothxp's. No matter, thanks very much to you both, very kind!

It is no problem :) Technically speaking, you gave me exactly what I asked for.
Yeah that has happened to me so many times, and usually the cause of the error is a simple syntax error.
Happy learning!
