Francesca;

If you are stuck at the character set portion of the challenge, here is what the code should look like up to that point.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

same here. i think that the forum only allows a certain number of words... thank you anyway ricardo for trying to help. just did exactly as told in tutorial.

Yes like this: <meta charset="utf-8" then close then </head> for the line after. still says that line about putting meta tag to head.

< ! DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title></title> </head> <body> . . ......

I'm supposed to put the character set and it keeps reading to add the meta tag? But I'm doing exactly as told in the tutorial? Help please and thank you. This is how it looks <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" </head> <body></body> </html>

sorry about that but i dont know why my answer isnt shows .

did you put meta charset after head tag?

hmmm my code is not showing again

im thinking that probably you did not close some bracket of your code line be careful when you finish you code lines; better if you for example when you open a tag element close it at the same time.

i did. will try to contact admin and see what's going on. appreciate the help ricardo!

no problem i hope you fix the issue

Hi guys! can't thank you enough for helping a newbie up on her feet. Here is the code i made, where did i go wrong? I'm supposed to put a charset and then it keeps saying to put meta tag to head which I believe I did.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf 8"
  </head>
  <body></body>
</html>

Wondering where I went wrong? Thank you! :-)

As you probably discovered, you were missing the closing ">" on your meta tag.

Pleased you solved this one, best of luck in your coding.

Ken

All done! Thanks very much for the support. Yay! :-)
