Chapter 2: Document Information Tags


Document information tags are placed within the <head> tag and, as I mentioned before, provide various kinds of information about the document. There are only two information tags you need to know about at this point--the <title> tag and the <meta> tag.

The <title> Tag

As you may have guessed, this tag defines the document's title. This is important because most browsers display the document's title in the title bar. If a document lacks a title, the browser will display its URL or the name of the browser instead. Another reason to include a title is that Web directories and search engines such as Yahoo! and Google rely on page titles to help locate, index, and categorize pages properly. You should select a fairly short title that accurately describes your page. Simply include the title in the document head and you are all set:

<head> <title>Jane Smith's Personal Web Page</title> </head>
