[HTML] How do meta-tags like "generator"/"author" affect anything?

Hello guys!
HTML meta-tags like
<meta name="generator" content="">
<meta name="site-created" content="">
<meta name="expires" content="">
<meta name="author" content="">
<meta name="copyright" content="">
<meta name="reply-to" content="">
<meta name="owner" content="">
<meta name="address" content="">
<meta name="publisher-email" content="">
<meta name="publisher-url" content="">
Why would anyone need them on the page? Do they affect anything?

Ever tried Wikipedia, or Google: "html meta tags"? Please, do your homework first!

  • Every inlineframe generates HTML, head and body tag - how to remove it

    Hi,
    I am using inlineframe for adding HTML content. For every inlineframe, HTML, head and body tag is generated.
    How to get rid out of those HTML, head and body tags?
    please suggest

    Hi,
    not sure the component is generating this. Must come from the HTML source you reference. If however it is the inline frame then this is not configurable

    Hi,
    there are no meta tags in HTMLB !!   If you really need to include these in your development, you have to do it with the old HTML tags like this:
    <html>
    <head>
    meta name="author" content="Anna Lyse"
    meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sat, 01 Dec 2001 00:00:00 GMT"
    meta name="keywords" lang="en-us" content="vacation, Greece, sunshine"
    </head>
    </html>
    I cannot enter the correct code for META because the @§$%&/ configuration in this forum is triggering an error page !!

    Transfer all purchases from the iPad to iTunes on your computer, backup the iPad and then sync one last time.
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings to completely erase the iPad.
    Connect the new iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, restore from the backup of the old iPad and then sync with iTunes. You should be prompted to restore from the backup when you connect the new iPad to your computer's iTunes, but you can select it on your own as well.

  • What is the best way to add "meta tags" in edge?

    Trying to add meta tags for search engines, what are the best ways to do this?

    With the latest version of Edge (3.0) is still the best practice to edit index.html or is there a better one?
    Y try for example...
    var meta1 = '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />';
    $(meta1).appendTo("head");
    ...in creationComplete or in document.compositionReady but I can't see these lines in index.html file, are stored in index_edgeActions.js file.
    But maybe that works to attach the meta tags with append to head because it does work fine (and neither are saved in the index.html):
    var favicon = "<link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/volicon.png' type='image/png'/>" ;
    $(favicon).appendTo("head");
    I don't know if Google detect meta tags stored in index_edgeAtions.js or is more recommended to modify index.html manually with notepad.
    Maybe the best practice are save and publish Edge project with a name different than index (for example project.an and project.html) and to create an index.html manually with meta tags, code of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, etc., and with HTML meta http-equiv Attribute for to redirect immediately to project.html generate with Edge (remember disallow project.html in robots.txt). In this way is not necessary to modify the index.html file each time that we publish.
    How do you see?

  • Meta tag info

    Is there a way to organize files by their meta tag, like for example itunes files. I have list of videos that I want in a particular order but if I don't have a 1 2 3 4 at the start of the file then they are ordered alphabetically, which I don't particularly want.

    This isn't an itunes question, it's a file folder question and possibly an automator question. I was hoping someone might know a automator action that might get what I want. But I wasn't sure if that would be the answer. Itunes was just a reference to what I want to accomplish outside of itunes in finder.

  • How to specify HTML meta tags?

    I'm trying to get a portal to always have the following an HTML meta tag in the head of the generated HTML:
    <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOFOLLOW" />
    I haven't seen any documentation about doing this in particular, but looking at some of the XML schema (*.xsd) files in various weblogic-specific jars, it seems like maybe the following would work in the <netuix:head> tag of the .portal configuration file for the portal:
    <netuix:head>
    <netuix:meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOFOLLOW" />
    </netuix:head>
    However, this does not seem to work.
    Also, I've checked the skin.properties file to see if there are any comments about how to specify meta tags, but there aren't any.

    Turns out there are a number of ways to do this. A BEA consultant recommended modifying the "head.jsp" for the portal's skin.
    Alternatively, it dawned on me that all I had to do was put the meta tags in a jsp and use that jsp in the head area of the .portal file. For example:
    <netuix:head>
    <netuix:jspContent contentUri="/resources/jsp/customHead.jsp"/>
    </netuix:head>

  • How to add creater/author meta tag - DC.creator?

    I've never heard of "metadata" before yesterday - I'm still kinda new to web-design. But I added a description + key words so far, and want to add my name as the "creator".
    1st question - Will I have to add "meta data" to each individual page? Or does it apply to the entire site?
    2nd question - This site: http://webdesign.about.com/od/dreamweaverhowtos/ig/Meta-Tags-in-Dreamweaver/Part-6--Add-Yo ur-Own-Meta-Tags.htm
    said I can add an author by going to insert > html > head tags > meta, then using DC.creator as the name, then my name for the value. But there's nowhere to type DC.creator, unless that goes under value, and my name goes under "content."
    Anyway, this is what I ended up with - is this correct?
    <meta name="DC.creator" content="my name" value="my name" />
    thanks all!

    thanks - but that's the same link i posted. lol
    I was wondering where to type what - Does DC.creator go into the "value" box, and my name into the "content" box?
    It gives me : <meta name="DC.creator" content="my name" />
    I changed it to : <meta name="DC.creator" content="my name" value="my name" />

  • How about adding a meta tag to the index file.....

    This is another way to get verified with Google and other search engines. Does anyone know a way that you could add a meta tag to the index file generated by iweb??
    Thanks for any help....Matt
    http://www.want2takecredit.com

    I'm glad it worked. Nevertheless you might think of uploading an html file as well. The index.html sometimes gets overwritten by iweb, thus the meta-tag would disappear and you would have to do it again. The html file instead stays where it is.
    Here's how to procede:
    When they will ask you to verify that it really is your website. “Choose verification method” select “Upload an HTML file” and now you will have to build that verification file (here’s a How-to by Roddy).
    1. Go to your applications folder and launch Text Edit.
    2. Don't put anything on the blank page.
    3. Select File/Save As.
    4. In the popup window "Save As" box enter your Google number (something like google05a23d347cXXXXXX )
    5. In the "Where" box select desktop.
    6. In "File Format" menu select HTML.
    7. Click "Save".
    8. A file will appear on your desktop called google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html
    9. This is what you upload to your server or iDisk.
    Upload that file to your main folder on your server so that it will be http://www.yoururl.com/google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html (not in the subfolder of the Sites folder named with the title of your site...*).
    For .Mac go to the Finder menu and select Go/iDisk/My iDisk/ or hit SchiftCommand(Apple)i and then go to /Web/Sites/. Drop your file into the "Sites" folder
    Entering: http://web.mac.com/username/google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html in your browser should bring up this file. If it doesn’t you placed the file in the wrong location.
    Entering: http://yourbaseurl.com/google05a23d347cXXXXXX.html in your browser should bring up this file. If it doesn’t you placed the file in the wrong location.

  • Parse out the contents of meta tag using HTML.Tag

    I need help with using the HTML.Tag class. I don't even know where to start...
    I want to make a method that allows me to pass in a very long string and the NAME of the meta tag.. and will return the contents of the meta tag.. any help will be super..
    sorry i do not have much of a code base to start with.. I am just guessing on how to get this to work..
    private String getMetatag(String content,String Metaname)
    String Metacontents;
    Object HTML.Tag.META;
    Object HTML.Attribute.NAME.Metaname;
         Object HTML.Attribute.CONTENT;
    return Metacontents;
    }

    One of the way to get started is to check out how to overide (extend) the class
    HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback.. Lets say the class is called class A
    Overide the methods for
    HandleSImpleTags( HTML.Tag t, AttributeSet attribute, int pos) { }
    roughly, the implemenation in that method is like this:
    HandleSImpleTags( HTML.Tag t, AttributeSet attribute, int pos) {
    if(t.equals(HTML.Tag.META) {
    /// your procedure, what to do when encounter META tag
    // String str = (String) attribute.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.NAME);
    // System.out.println(str);
    You would still need to find some detail examples on how to use class A .
    Roughly it is,
    parser.parse(inputstream, an_instance of_class_A, true); // method in a outer class like a main class
    parser is a instatiation of from the method getParser. This method need to be overidden as well.

  • How to make the auto generated java script not to have any html comments.

    Hello BEA Experts, As you know that auto generated javascript functions like getNetuiTagNames in Workshop are included with in the the HTML comment tags like <b><!--

    My question is there any way to stop generation of the HTML comment tags and just genrate the javascript with in teh script elements..
    Please let me know..
    Thanks in advance..

    Not sure if this is an application question or if you are trying to hook into Crystal Reports parameter UI? If the later then no option other than report design. If an application then I can move this to the Java Forums.
    If you are asking how to alter the parameters I suggest you remove the Java reference and post a new question so it's not confusing the issue.
    Please clarify?

  • How do I add multiple scripts from search engines to my meta tag properties?

    I currently have copied the goolge script for website varification and analytics, etc and pasted it into my meta tag properties dialog box. There is no problem as far as Google varifying the page. However, I would like to copy Bing's search engine script into my meta tag in addition to Googles script. How do I go about doing this? Do I hit the return on my keyboard under the ending of Googles script, then paste in the Bing script?
    The the last part of the Google script ending in this:
    </script>
    (paste new script from Bing here?)
    Will this cancel out each other and cause problems?
    Can someone walk me through this process, because Bing's search engine will not varify my site through two of the three other methods.
    Ben

    Adding a script after the closure of previous script is the way to go i.e. right after the </script> tag.
    So it should look something like below:
    <script>
    Google's script
    </script>
    <script>
    Bing's script
    </script>
    Cannot comment on one interfering with the other since it really depends on what exact code is there in the scripts. Google and Bing help resources will be able to help more with this.
