http://hanarei.blog32.fc2.com/ has a strange structure. Note that html tag appears twice and so does head. charset definition in meta tag appears in the 2nd head tag. WebKit does not honor it while FF and IE do. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>無料オンラインゲームに参加しよう♪</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- var ID="100099131"; var AD=0; var FRAME=0; // --></script> <script src="http://j1.ax.xrea.com/l.j?id=100099131" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript> <a href="http://w1.ax.xrea.com/c.f?id=100099131" target="_blank"><img src="http://w1.ax.xrea.com/l.f?id=100099131&url=X" alt="AX" border="0"></a> </noscript> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html lang="ja" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ja"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=EUC-JP" />

WebKit currently stops to look for charset as soon as it reaches document body (for performance reasons). See also: bug 12526.

http://db66.vnet.cn/ is a variation on this. Its strucutre is <script> very long .... </script><form> ...</form> <script ..></script> <html> <head> <meta .... charset ...> .....

Another variation: http://floraexpress.ru/ It starts with "<input>" tag. Later, it has the correct <meta> tag to indicate charset.

Created attachment 17107 [details] Yahoo! Mail example This (partial) reduction is an example of a HTML-based mail message (about Sandvox) rendering with the wrong charset due to a "late" <meta> tag. It was originally displayed within Yahoo! Mail, although I stripped out almost all of the Y! Mail bits for the reduction. Note the rendering of the apostrophes in the body of the message, and compare to Opera 9.22 and Firefox 2.0.0.9.
