2.2.2.23 HTMLMetaElement

  • Article

The HTMLMetaElement interface represents the meta element.

The HTMLMetaElement interface has been extended with the following attributes:

  • url

  • charset

     //Introduced in Internet Explorer.
 interface HTMLMetaElement : HTMLElement {
             attribute DOMString       url;
             attribute DOMString       charset;
 };

You can use the meta element to include hidden information about the document and to insert document-related information used by some search engines.

The meta element can be used only within the head element.
