Meta Tag Attributes
Meta tags provide essential information about HTML documents. They are self-closing tags and significantly impact browser functionality, search engine optimization (SEO), character set declaration, and viewport control. Here are some commonly used meta tag attributes:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
charset | Defines the character encoding for the HTML document. |
name | Specifies the name of the metadata attribute. |
content | Provides information associated with the specified name. |
http-equiv | Sets an HTTP header for the content, typically used for backward compatibility. |
scheme | Specifies the format used to interpret the content value, often for data formats. |
HTML Attributes
HTML attributes provide additional information about elements within an HTML document. Every HTML element can have attributes. Attributes are always defined in the start tag. They are specified using a name/value pair format, where the attribute name defines the property, and its value provides specific details, like name=”value”. These attributes impact content display and interaction on web pages.
