PBailey -> <span lang="en-us"> Once again (10/18/2009 13:23:12)
ExpressionWeb2
I have done everything I can find to do in books and on forums including Outfront to stop <span lang="en-us"> being inserted into my code. Nothing seems to work. On some pages it is worse then others. I strip it from the code and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the page but it is a real pain even using Find and Replace.
I can only think there must be another setting somewhere that I am missing that is causing this.
Question: If I just accept the ugly code the constant insertion creates is it going to affect my pages once I publish to the server? I hate the ugly code but I am really tired of messing with this.
HELP please.

I knew I'd seen something like this somewhere before, though it's a very old thread and was about FP. Not sure if the same solution would apply, but have you installed any relevant MS patches/SPs?
Seems as though the problem's not having a language specified in the meta tags. Try making sure you've got the "<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb" />" (or US) meta tag in your page head as well as well as the correct doctype, which should hopefully sort out the problem.

Womble, Thank you ! It worked! I had actually seen the Any Expression tip but must have done something wrong.....not quite sure how I could have messed up a simple meta tag entry but ........thank you thank you! Outfront always comes through.
