HTML head Tag

Print Version

The information on this page is based on HTML version 4.01 (which is the current version of HTML). The next version, HTML 5, is currently being written. Here's a list of HTML 5 tags.

The HTML head tag is used for indicating the head section of the HTML document.

The head can contain other HTML tags that provide information about the document such as title, description, keywords etc. Most of this information is not displayed in the browser (although the title usually appears in the browser's title bar) but can be useful for search engines etc. The head tag is placed between the <html> and the <body> tags.

Example
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML head tag</title>

<body style="background-color:orange">
