HEAD
The HEAD contains general information about the document.
The contents of the HEAD are not displayed as part of the document
text: the displayed material is found within the
BODY. Consequently, only certain mark-up
elements can be placed within the HEAD. These are:
- TITLE The title of the document
- ISINDEX Usually placed in the
HEAD by the server or a server script/program to indicate that a
document is searchable.
- NEXTID A parameter used by automated
HTML editors to create unique identifiers for the documents.
- LINK Defines the relationship(s) between
this document and another or others. A document can have several LINK
elements.
- BASE A record of the original URL of the
document: this allows you to move the document to a new directory (or
even a new site) and have relative URLs access the appropriate place
with respect to the original URL.
- META Embeds document
meta-information not defined by other HTML elements.
