HTML5 <form> accept-charset Attribute
Example
A form with an accept-charset attribute:
<form action="demo_form.asp" accept-charset="ISO-8859-1">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
First name: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Browser Support
The accept-charset attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Definition and Usage
The accept-charset attribute specifies a list of character encodings that the server accepts.
The default value is the reserved string "UNKNOWN" (indicates that the encoding equals the encoding of the document containing the <form> element).
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
In HTML 4.01, the different character encodings could be delimited by spaces or commas. In HTML5, only spaces are correct.
Syntax
<form accept-charset="character_set">
Attribute Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| character_set | A space-separated list of one or more character encodings the server
accepts. Common values:
In theory, any character encoding can be used, but no browser understands all of them. The more widely a character encoding is used, the better the chance that a browser will understand it. To view all available character encodings, go to our Character sets reference. |
