meta Tag Help
META tags are special
tags that go up in the <head> </head> part of your document.
For example, check out the meta tags in this document:
<meta name="author" content="Phillip Waclawski" />
<meta name="copyright" content="1999, Phil Waclawski of Felitaur
Enterprises" />
<meta name="description" content="Explanation for the use of meta tags
in
HTML documents." />
<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, Meta tags, web design" />

<meta http-equiv="expires" content="January 1, 2010 14:30:00 MST" />
<meta http-equiv="Set-Cookie"
content="cookievalue=xyz;expires=Friday, 31-Dec-99 23:59:59 GMT;
path=/" />
<meta http-equiv="Last-Modified" content="June 8, 1999" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
There is also a
"refresh" tag that takes the following form:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15" />
which will cause the page to reload 15 seconds after it loads the first
time, and every 15 seconds after that.
You can also have it load another page by addding the following:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15; url="goherenext.html" />
