Synopsis
Read/Write
Character encoding of the content in the file associated with the

property has little
or no effect on a document.
Example
if (document.all.myMeta.charset == "csISO5427Cyrillic") {
process for Cyrillic charset
}
Value
Case-insensitive alias from the character set registry (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets).
