Meta tags are a lot of things, though basicaly they enclose information about the
Web page that will not be directly displayed to the chairman reading the page.
The many common forms of meta tags you’ll find on the Web are:
- keywords
Keywords are used by hunt engines to make the page some-more easily
searchable. You would put difference that are used on the page that best
describe the page.meta name="keywords" content="antivirus Norton AntiVirus Enterprise edition nav AV" - description
The outline is used by hunt engines to yield a brief summary of
the page. You would put a judgment or dual that describes what the page is
about.meta name="description" content="Norton AntiVirus Enterprise Edition is the many extensive antivirus resolution accessible for businesses"
There is also a meta tab that provides a somewhat opposite function.
These forms of meta tags indeed tell the Web server or browser to do
something with or to the page. The many common of this form of meta tab is
the Refresh tag. It is used to possibly modernise the stream page or pierce the
browser concentration to an wholly new page.
Refresh the page to the Web Design home page after 10 seconds:
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://webdesign.about.com/"Refresh the page itself after 30 seconds (perhaps to get new information
from a spreadsheet or CGI)
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30"One final thing to note: Many Web pages write keyword and outline meta tags
as “http-equiv” tags. This is incorrect. The scold footnote is like we wrote
above. For example:
WRONG
meta http-equiv="keywords" content="antivirus Norton AntiVirus
Enterprise book nav AV"CORRECT
meta name="keywords" content="antivirus Norton AntiVirus
Enterprise book nav AV"Once we know that meta tags are not meant to be seen by the reader, but
rather to be used within the browser itself, it creates them a lot easier to use.
