The Meta Tag

Back to Index

The meta tag gives special instructions to the browser. This tag has to be placed inside the head tag.

The meta tag is part of HTML 3.2 and only works with the newer browser like Netscape 2 and upwards.

One use for the tag is to help the search engine robots compile a list of hidden key words associated with a site as shown below.

Another use for the tag is to link together a number of files as in an automatic presentation so that each file calls up the next in a specified time.

If you use the link below you'll find 3 files set to call each other up in a loop. You can copy and paste the code for each file and build a working model for yourself.
