HTML Head
Examples
The title of a document
The title information inside a head element is not displayed in the browser
window.
One target for all links
This example demonstrates how to use the base tag to let all the links on a page
open in a new window.
The Head Element
The head element contains general information, also called meta-information, about
a document. Meta means "information about".
You can say that meta-data means information about data, or meta-information means information about information.
Information Inside the Head Element
The elements inside the head element should not be displayed by a browser.
According to
the HTML standard, only a few tags are legal inside the head
section. These are: <base>, <link>, <meta>, <title>, <style>,
and <script>.
Look at the following illegal construct:
<head>
<p>This is some text</p>
</head>
|
In this case the browser has two options:
- Display the text because it is inside a paragraph element
- Hide the text because it is inside a head element
If you put an HTML element like <h1> or <p> inside a head element
like this, most browsers will display it, even if it is illegal.
Should browsers forgive you for errors like this? We don't think so. Others
do.
