Should have done this instead of pasting it into the description. Sorry about
that.

This patch also includes the missing met tag for content-type.
The w3c validator does noe see a content-type header or meta tag.
Blocks: validate

We can't use the metatag.  It'll break Netscape 4.  The server-side charset
header will hopefully be fixed when it moves to new hardware in a couple weeks.
Summary: type attribute in </script> instead of in <script> → New frontpage of www.mozilla.org doesn't validate
*** Bug 212800 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
this has already been fixed.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmozilla.org%2F&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29

Also lacking page icon. (I didn't want to file a whole bug on such a little thing)

<link rel="icon" href="images/mozilla-16.png" type="image/png">
once again, mozilla.org doesn't validate. see revision 1.353 (ben goodger) - the
border=0 on the <input type="image"> and a stray </p> are causing problems.

why has this bug been verified fixed when it clearly still doesn't validate ?

i quote the validator...

'I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the 
valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is 
impossible to validate the document.'

It only takes one line to fix that, why didn't that make the patch ?
v.

as mentioned in comment 5, the charset issue is bug 154570.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
