HTML Tags - HEAD: META, SCRIPT

HEAD Tags

META and SCRIPT are elements of the <HEAD> tag and cannot appear outside the header section of the document: More tags used within the document header

<META>

This tag is used in many ways. It is often used to include keywords a document, or to pass messages to the client such as the language of the document content using the HTTP-EQUIV and CONTENT attribute pairs:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="keywords" CONTENT="Biology, Chemistry">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Last-Modified" CONTENT="Sep 06, 1996">

<SCRIPT>

The SCRIPT element is used to point to or embed the source of a client-side script application in an HTML document. Here is an example that points to an external Javascript:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="validate.js">

<STYLE>

The STYLE element is used to point to or embed style sheet information, such as Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) properties. Here is an example:

<STYLE>
H1 {font-family:times-roman; font-style:bold; font-size: 36pt}
</STYLE>
