The HTML parser needs to provide support for setting the content language in the <META> tag within a document. Given the current HTML 4.0 lang syntax it is necessary for an exception similar to CharSetNameException to be thrown so that a doucment can be reparsed using a new Locale.

Currently the workaround is to set the lang in the <HTML> tag. This support isn't necessary until HTML 4.0 is supported.

Either of the following lines in an html file,

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

causes the following error to happen.

java.util.EmptyStackException

WORK AROUND Name: krT82822 Date: 10/10/99 remove the lines. except frontpage keeps on putting them back in. So this is bad. As far as I can tell the html is still rendering ok. (Review ID: 96307) ======================================================================

EVALUATION Having meta http-equiv is not necessary because there is a known workaround. This bug is about having html 4.0 support for swing. There is rfe 4296022 for html4.0 support. Closing this rfe as duplicate. ###@###.### 2001-11-13
