HTML5 Meta Tag issue

I have a site that is built using Project 7's Affinity Page Builder in HTML5 with a meta tag that seems to cause problems with the W3C Validator.
The meta tag is this:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
The Website is here:
http://www.bobbybailbonds.net/
Client liked the Affinity theme, Al Sparber earned his pay. But what's with the meta tag? I understand this causes Internet Exploder to not freak out when dealing with this kind of responsive layout. And I also came across a description of this as a bug in the W3C group: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2013Mar/0009.html
First question: Is there an alternative that will specifically work with Microsoft's browsers?
Second question: Is this something that will be a known fix that is upcoming?
Third: What happens when this is left out? What do the Microsoft browsers do?

Oh, Nancy!
I don't do Windows.
(You did ask for this, you know)
If you read the article, there is a php solution in the header of each page. I, personally, do like the universal solution—use it once, all pages on that web server are done.
I had one client on an IIS server and pulled him off it. I uploaded a whole bunch of .PNG files and there were a few .PDFs that my client wanted linked. The server didn't know what the .PNG files were and didn't know what the .PDFs were, either, so it refused to serve them. Hosting provider was so slow with tech support that I pulled the site (and put it on Linux/Apache) before he got back to me. Apparently, you have to tell Windows that these are OK files to host.
Sheesh!

'Page Info' doesn't support HTML5 'meta charset' tag?

Admittedly this isn't a catastrophic problem, but it seems that the Firefox 'Page Info - General' dialog does not support HTML5's '<meta charset="UTF-8">' tag - the dialog displays an empty line in my Firefox 21.0 browser.
If the meta charset tag is changed to the pre-HTML5 version of '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> the Page Info dialog displays the 'Content-type' information.
Other posts I've seen suggest that Firefox's HTML5 support has been frozen except for new HTML5 standards that may be added as they are finalised.
Does that mean that this omission is going to be left unfixed?

Looks as though someone started working on this in 2010, but interest (?) petered out?

I am not able to share a blogpost image on facebook using the open graph meta-tag for the blogpost image.

Dear Members,
I am wrestling a few days now, and still not able to get a blogpost image into the facebook share-box.
This is the link where i am talking about:
Top 10 Celebrities on Holiday in Saint Tropez
I have 2 issues:
1
Below ( under the blog-post ) you'll find my facebook like button.
When i like the blog-post, the share-box pops up BUT without the blog image.
I put the link in the debugger window from Facebook, but it tells me that the open graph tag for a image is not proper defined.
this is the link to facebook debugger : https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
So i created this meta-tag : <meta property="og:image" content="/_assets/images/blog/img-{tag_blogpostid}.jpg" />
and put it inside the head of the html code for the detailed blog post lay-out ( site-manager/module-templates/Blog lay-outs/Blog post detail lay-out )
2
I dont know how i must specify the URL to be liked on facebook.
My blog-list url = http://www.duvanduvan.com/blog BUT i have to specify the url for a single blogpost item, but have no idea what to specify. i tried different url's like : duvanduvan.com/blog/{tag_itemurl} etc.... with no result
Can you also help me out here?
I really tried everything i possibly know off but without result :-(
Can somebody help me out here?
Much much appreciated.

Cannot create title tag, meta tags for iWeb site, per Google requirements.

I created simple website in iWeb to meet art show deadline
www.barbaraturnertigrett.com
but when I tried to submit to search engines (via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer" product), several issues or errors noted...no title tag, meta tags, keywords, too little text, etc. Was told by Apple, there is no fix at this time...no way to access to actual HTML code, to add title tag or meta tags, etc...since iWeb is merely a consumer, not professional enterprise, product. Researching further, I even tried to submit to Google directly, not via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer", but could not "verify" my url site (because meta tag missing and/or could not upload entire html file, as required. I'd produced client websites in past on Adobe GoLive and was learning Dreamweaver, when someone alerted me to simplicity of iWeb. It is clean and simple, but wish I'd anticipated these other issues. Is there a solution to this with iWeb or should I finish learning Dreamweaver and start over? Thanks for any advice you can share.

Both these last postings were helpful. THANKS. I could not open home.html file with "text edit", but when using Taco HTML Edit, it would open...so I dusted off (novice) HTML skills and entered the appropriate title tag and meta tag, per Google's requirements. Then, went to my GoDaddy hosting control center and (I think) I uploaded new file with new tags. Seems to be major lag time with any changes, so not sure my site is now successfully "verified", on Google. Hope I did not mess anything up, in the process. There seems to be various lag times before any changes take effect (right??).
So now...I'm very glad to find out about iMap and will buy it and watch the tutorial video, as instructed...since I am unsure if last 'fix'...fixed the problem, etc...and always eager to learn more. This is my first Apple discussion post, and certainly impressed/grateful for expert help. THX again.

Meta Tags: How to Paste into iWeb pages?

I created Meta Tags on Go Daddy. I'm not really sure what Meta Tags are, but I understand they help my web site with keywords and search engines. Here's the Meta Tag codes I created (appears to be three codes).
<title>Dana Point Bodycentre for gift certificates massage skin care body treatments</title>
<meta name="description" content="Dana Point Bodycentre offers gift certificates, gift centre, day spa services for massage, skin care, body care, body treatments, medical skin care, botox, laser hair removal, med spa services and specials">
<meta name="keywords" content="Dana Point, Bodycentre, massage, skin care, gift ideas, gift certificates, gift centre, holiday, specials, book online, instant gift certificates, botox, medical skin care, laser hair removal, med spa, therapist, boutique, retail">
Go Daddy says to "paste the Meta Tag into the Header of my page." I don't understand what they mean by that. I asked them for more help, but they won't help me any further. I need to know exactly where to paste these codes? I created these codes for my Home page, so I suppose the codes go into the .HTML file, or the .file for the web folder. But where? On the .HTML file, when I open it up in Text Wrangler, I see a lengthy text of codes. Where do I paste these codes? And what is the "header" of my page mean?

NOTE 1: about Meta-Tags and Search engine optimization:
Some time ago you could "feed" search engines with words by putting them in the meta tags. Nowadays search engines ignore those tags (probably due to spamming) and only look at the content.
I never did any Meta Tags and it seems to me that my site works fine without Meta Tags on google... Google include PageTitle and PageContent and it works great without any optimisation. Another issue with Meta Tags on iWeb now is that if I publish to a folder I can add MetaTags with text editor but next time I publish to a folder iWeb will overwrite that file and Meta Tags are gone... I then would have to make them all over again... Time... Time... Time...
Bottom line: I see no need for Meta Tags
But people reading this... You're free to decide by your own... it's up to you...
*5 TIPS:*
-Update your sitemaps
-Make a second nav bar made of text links as previously explained
-Further use synonyms in your content. Write your content so that it fits as good as possible everything a 'googler' could search for.
-Search engines don't look for tags, they look for the content of your pages.
-In the end it’s all about three things: Content, Content and Content

Do I need to add meta tag info to all pages if I'm creating a desktop, tablet and phone site?

Hi all,
I'm creating a website for a client and have built a desktop, tablet and mobile site.
What I'm wanting to know is can I add meta tags to only the desktop pages or does it need them on the tablet and mobile sites as well? Does this include images as well since the same images are repeated on all three site?
Lastly I have to add Google Analytics to the <head> section, is this only done on the home page of the desktop site or does this need to be added to every page (including tablet and mobile)?
Would be grateful for any info or links.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi guvieira,
I found the answer to this issue.
For the meta tags, if you create meta tags for the desktop pages, you can copy and paste that information to the tablet and mobile sites.
For the Google Analytics you can copy the tracking html text to the 'HTML for <head>' in the Metadata window (Page - Page Properties) on your masters page (this will flow onto the rest of the pages).
Hope this helps.

Meta tag error in site created by dreamweaver

I recently checked my site www.bestical.com at The W3C Markup Validation Service and there are error in it
but added all the meta tags by standard Dreamweaver tools
so which one is wring?

Short answer: You're using an HTML5 doc type which has a different set of specs for valid meta tags and other HTML syntax.
Introduction to HTML
Where you have this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fa">
Language must be expressed in the <html> tag like this:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="fa">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
For more on HTML5 specifications, see the W3Schools site above.

HTML5 meta http-equiv

I just learned that my favorite meta tags with http-equiv are obsolete in HTML5 doc types.
What should I be using to replace this tag?
     <meta http-equiv="last-modified" content="05 March, 2013 19:00:00 gmt">
Nancy O.

A similar approach to the one in the recent cache prevention thread: in .htaccess
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
     <FilesMatch "\.(html|htm)$">
            Header Set Last-Modified "Tue, 05 March, 2013 19:00:00 GMT"
     </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

Meta Tag data + IIS logs

we are using CF MX7 on IIS. I use a 3rd party tool to analyze
the log files. My content is chunked based on meta tags. The issue
is that IIS is not returning teh meta tag data. Is there a way to
collect trhe met tag data via CF?

I've looked at IMAQ Write Image and Vision Info File 2.vi. According to the documentation, "Writes an image, along with extra vision information associated with the image, to a PNG file. This extra vision information includes overlay information, pattern matching template information, and calibration information. Note that this vision information can only be saved with the PNG file format."
I have used the Write Custom Data.vi to write several keys to the image, before using the Write Image and Vision Info VI noted above. It does not seem that the keys can be read as metadata from the file by windows or other applications.
It is discussed on LAVA at
http://lavag.org/topic/5297-embedding-additional-txt-in-a-png-file-imaq-82/
It seems like the solution should be quite simple.... not there yet.

Changing default META TAG

Hi,
is there any solution for changing the default meta tag charset? In my case it's <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf8"> but I need
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=windows-1250">. I can't simply add this meta tag to HTML header, because APEX automatically insert it's own meta tag for character set.
thanx for your advices
Robert

Another issue, which i've solved on my own.
It's not the question of character set in html meta tag. The solution for this issue was easy. You have to import data with NLS_LANG system variable set to correct language. In my case it was EE8MSWIN1250. After such import, all data are displayed correctly within IE.

Finding meta-tag attribute values

we are considering using UltraSearch for our web site search and i'm trying to figure out how to implement some of our requirements.
i have created a new Attribute and mapped it to a Meta-tag keyword we have defined, but i can't figure out how to get/select the values found in the Meta-tag so i can create a pull-down list of values.
what are the tables and what is the SQL i need to get these values/words?
thanks!
cb

You may have already solved this issue but I have been trying to do the same thing and here is what I have found:
Within the ultrasearch table structure there is a table named 'dr$wk$doc_path_idx$i'. This table contains the indexed words and other values. One of the columns is named TOKEN_TYPE. From what I have seen there is a unique TOKEN_TYPE for each mapped attribute. You can then select from that table based on TOKEN_TYPE(or create a view for each attribute). For Example: I mapped an attribute called Country to a meta tag named Country. Let's say that the TOKEN_TYPE for this example is '24'. I can then query the table for all values with a TOKEN_TYPE of 24 to give me a list of countries that were found. NOTE: The results returned are single words ie: united, states, kingdom, arab, emirates - not "United States", "United Kingdom", "United Arab Emirates". If you solve how to string them together please post bag.

Play() method not implemented HTML5 audio tag?

Hello,
I am trying to play a sound using the HTML5 audio-tag and Adobe Air SDK 2.5.
This is part of the HTML5 code:
    <audio preload="auto" id="myTone">
        <source src="test.mp3">
        <source src="test.ogg">
    </audio>
And from javascript I do:
    a = document.getElementById("myTone");
    a.play();
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I get this error message in the console window:
    TypeError: Result of expression 'a.play' [undefined] is not a function.
However, when I run this code directly in Firefox 3.6.11 on my Windows XP machine, it works.
Dito in Safari 3.2.1 on my Mac OS 10.5.6 computer.
So apparantly, not all methods and events of the audio-tag are implemented in the Adobe AIR environment.
Is this by design? Or is it a bug?
I know there is another way to play sounds (I read Jeff Swartz' article - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/ajax/quickstart/articles/sound_in_html.html). But I think a pure HTML5 solution would be cleaner.
Who can provide more info about this issue?
Many thanks.
Jay

Hi there,
same issue here.
A workaround, far from perfect, is to request the base64 encoded data using an Ajax call
and set the src attribute of the audio element to 'data:audio/mpeg;base64,' + base64encodedaudio.

How to Add Multiple Meta tags?

I work for a large state educational orgranization that needs
to add meta tags to the header as part of the
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
In this case, not having meta tags is not an option.
The meta data has to be unique to each page. Using the
Keywords / Description parameters provided in the menu will not
work.
Hacking the "ccKeywordsAndDescription.js"
"ccKeywordsAndDescription.htm" files is not an option as different
meta data tags are required on each page and sometimes several of
the same meta data tags are required on one page
(ex: <meta name="DC.Subject" scheme="Keyword"
content="####">
Because of this, adding a template parameter for each
editable meta data tag appears not to work as well.
This issue was brought up once before in this form by some
one else but not answered. I figured I would check again.

It does not look like this is doable within Contribute, so we
are going outside for a solution.
The users create the page they need in Contribute from a
template with an editable region in the header. Then the users go
back in to the page with a Meta tag creation program called Tag Gen
which has the same editable region defined in its preferences. They
can add the needed tags save and close the page without ever
dealing with the page code. Then they go back into Contribute to
publish the page.
It is kind of alot of Micky Mouse work but it is the only
solution we could find.

Which Domain Forwarding sites offer meta tags?

I am soon going to publish my website through .mac with iweb. I have some expirience with webdesign in the past and I know that .mac does not have meta tag implementation.
That being said I know some domain forwarding cann allow you to implement keywords and meta tags into the forwarding url. In the past I know .co.nr the free domain forwarding site allows this. that way when you searched for thissite.co.nr the keywords and description you entered would be displayed. I am not sure if other places allow for this same sort of meta tag placement for domain forwarding. This would really help with overcoming the issue with meta-tags in iWeb if possible.
Does anyone know what domain sites offer this sort of feature? Does Godaddy.com?

newmacguru,
The situation is a little bit different with masked Domain Forwarding. The meta-information is placed into the frames code which is responsible for the masking. Since this code is generated by the domain forwarding setup, it is not available for editing like other iWeb HTML files. Futhermore, with a masked Domain Forwarding setup, search engines that find the domain URL only see the frames code and whatever meta-information is contained in the frames code. So even if you add meta-information to the iWeb HTML pages behind the masking domain name, the search engines will never see it.
This is one major downside to using masked domain forwarding.
