As far as I know that whitespace won't affect the actual code but it is common and best practice to not have a space after the = so that's probably what's messing you up there.

14,636 Pointsin the code you posted there's no charset attribute in the metatag. I'm assuming that was just an error in this post but could you paste your entire actual answer code just to be sure? Most likely it may just be a simple error in syntax like a missing quote or closing tag or something.
Thanks,
