<HEAD></HEAD>

Contains non-displayed information about the page


Use to mark the beginning and the end of the information contained in the header portion of an HTML file. This is information that is not displayed by the browser (unless it wants to use the TITLE element to give a name to the viewing window).

        <html>
==>>    <head>
        <title>Some Title</title>
==>>    </head>
        <body>
            .
            .
            .
        </body>
        </html>

The use of this tag is optional. You can leave it off if you want. I like having the definition in my pages so I use it.

The following elements can be used in the header portion of the file:

  • <BASE> - Base provides absolute URL for relative URL
  • <ISINDEX> - Creates a keyword search prompt
  • <LINK> - Defines relationship to other pages or objects
  • <META> - Used to embed document information in the HEAD
  • <NEXTID> - Defines identifier for automatic hypertext editors [Obsolete]
  • <TITLE></TITLE> - Contains the title of the page (not displayed on page)
