The meta tag should be like this:

<meta charset="utf-8">

Will this work?

For the meta charset attribute, you need to put a = in like the following.

meta charset="Utf-8"

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the Answer i fixed it but I am still getting the same error which says:

Index of /

../ Index.html 14-Dec-2014 14:53 320

Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta Charset="Utf-8"> <title>Kiran Siddiqi | Designer</title> </head> <body> <header> <h1>Kiran Siddiqi</h1> <h2>Designer</h2> </header> <section> <p>Gallery will go here</p> </section> <footer>© 2014</footer> </body> </html>

We need to add the <html> after <meta charset="utf-8">, and close it at the very end with </html>. I found the head element lacks a beginning tag: <head> Also the body element lacks a beginning tag: <body> in front of <header>

Can you put these three in and see what happens?

I just found that the meta tag should be like this: <meta charset="utf-8">

Will this make it work?
