WML TAG: meta
<meta ... />
The
meta
tag is primarily used to list information (meta data) about the current WML deck. This information can be anything you want users to know about your site including author names, keywords, subject matter, and topics of interest. Ideally, this meta data is used by the various Internet search engines.
This tag presents the meta data as name/content paired values by using the
name
and
content
attributes. Since the meta data is contained inside the
meta
tag, it is not actually displayed by the deck.
The
meta
tag can also be used with the
http-equiv
attribute to simulate HTTP headers.
This tag can only be placed inside the
head
element. You can have more than one
meta
element per deck. This tag is self-closing.
Nested Tags:
None
Attributes
class
The optional
class
core attribute is used to assign one or more classes to the element. Multiple classes are separated by white space. The class name is case sensitive (i.e.,
Stocks
and
stocks
are not the same).
content
The optional
content
attribute is the content portion of the name/content value. There are no defined values for this attribute. You may choose any words or text you desire. For example, you could choose "keyword" for the
name
attribute and then use the
content
attribute to list keywords that you feel are important to your site.
forua
The optional
forua
attribute is a Boolean value that determines if the meta data is sent to the browser. If the
meta
tag is supported and this attribute is set to
true
, the meta data must be sent to the browser. If set to
false
, the meta data must not be sent.
http-equiv
The optional
http-equiv
attribute can be used in place of the
name
attribute to create an http-equiv/content value pair to provide information used to generate an HTTP header.
id
The optional
id
core attribute is used to assign a unique name to a tag. The name must be unique to the entire deck and not just unique to a card. The first character of the name can be a letter or the underscore. The remaining characters can be any combination of letters, numbers, or underscores.
name
The optional
name
attribute is the name portion of the name/content value. There are no defined values for this attribute. You may choose any word you desire. For example, you could choose "keyword" for the
name
and then use the
content
attribute to list keywords that you feel are important to your site.
scheme
The optional
scheme
attribute specifies a form or structure used to interpret the meta data.
