I have this simple html 

<!Doctype html>
<head>
<title>Uft-8</title>
<meta charset="uft-8">
<style type="text/css">
.tr_deco{
background-color:pink;
border:1px solid red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a class="new_krud_slider" href="">make new</a>
</body>
</html>

When i try out the code on firefox 15,i get this firebug error.

An unsupported character encoding was declared for the HTML document
using a meta tag. The declaration was ignored.

My firebug version is 1.7.3. What could be causing this error?.

    Mate, you’ve mistyped charset="uft-8" (with the F before the T). Change it to charset="utf-8":

    <!Doctype html>
<head>
<title>Uft-8</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style type="text/css">
.tr_deco{
background-color:pink;
border:1px solid red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a class="new_krud_slider" href="">make new</a>
</body>
</html>

    Then it works fine. I know, I tested it my very self.

    Edit: Now I realise you’ve typed UFT everywhere. The correct initialism is UTF (UCS Transformation Format).
