The code is not passing validation! Any ide why ?

Hi everyone,
The following code:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255" /> <style type="text/css"> </style> </head> <body> </body> </html>

Yields the following notification when i check it in "http://validator.w3.org/check:
Attachment 59506
Can anyone explain me please what is my mistake?
Thanks

I think the validator fails to recognize windows-1255. Change it to utf-8 will pass.

Or you could check as XHTML 1.0 Transitional if windows-1255 must use.

I meant to say strict.

There's something odd in your declaration, though I'm missing what it is (it could be the empty style and body elements). I recreated it though I used strict instead of transitional - you can change it to transitional if you really, REALLY need it...though I'd hope you'd rethink that since there's little good reason to use transitional.
Code HTML4Strict:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd[/URL]"> <html xmlns="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255" /> <title>Title of the document</title> <style type="text/css"> P { color: #123123; } </style> </head> <body> <p>The content of the document......</p> </body> </html>

Sometimes, the only way I can find my own idiocy is to make a post about it. Not because someone has the answer for me, but because writing the problem and hitting submit (never before, sigh) makes the answer come to me. Lawlz.

Card-carrying idiot here.
Was just looking for my pencil for 15 minutes. It was in my hand.

But I do need it to write down my grocery list. I'm not hip enough to buy a handheld telephone to do that for me.... I write on little slips of paper.
