IPhone HTML meta tags

I have been developing a mobile website for the past year. Up until the last test on my iPhone, which was today, the website would adjust to the iPhone's browser size. I accomplished this using a meta tag in the HTML.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=no">
For an unknown reason (the code has not been altered, I have even tried uploading backups) the meta tag is completely ignored by the iPhone browser.
*What could possibly be wrong?*
NOTE: Today was the first test since I updated by iPhone firmware to 3.1.3. I also tested it on another 3.1.3 device with the same problem. I thought it might be a bug in the new firmware.

Other iPhone compatible websites are working perfectly. I compared source code, I found nothing. Nothing is wrong with my code as it was working before. I tested about 4 different backups. None of them are working. The mystery is that there is a problem with my website, but no problem with the source code.
Here is the source code for one page:
Check this link because I wasn't able to post the source code, the link is an image.

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>

Custom HTML meta tags in head section

We want to add custom HTML code to our html-type (HTMLHelp,
FlashHelp, WebHelp) output.
We know how to add HTML code to the <body> section, by
selecting from RoboHelp's main top menu "Insert > HTML".
We also know how to add HTML code to multiple topics at once,
by adding the HTML code to the header and/or footer or a template,
and linking the relevant topics to that template.
We now want to add HTML code (in particular, custom META
tags) to the <head> section. However, it appears that the
content of the template header appears in the <body> section.
Of course, we could run a search-and-replace-all on our
existing topics, to replace existing HTML code on the <head>
section with our custom code. But we would need to remember to do
this each time we add a new topic. It is not a big deal, but this
does not seem to be a very efficient way of doing this.
We figure that there must be some type of collection of
HTML-templates that RoboHelp uses each time a new topic is created,
to automatically insert some standard HTML code. But, do we have
easy access to such HTML-templates? Where are they stored?
Thanks for you help!

Have you tried working in the "True Code" editor? This seems
to be all you need to do.

HTML Meta Tags in Portal Component

Hi,
I have created a portal component and would like to add in <meta> tags into the head of my html document. I have a jsp using the hbj:documentHead tag to add meta tags to the html.
However, when the page is rendered, the <meta> tags appear in the <body> instead of the <head>. Is this a bug in the portal?
Thanks in advance.
Nick Mitchell

You could probably hack it by using extending AbstractPortal and overwriting for example doOnNodeReady ( http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/60_sp2_javadocs/runtime/com/sapportals/portal/prt/component/AbstractPortalComponent.html )
Why do you need the meta information ?

[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!

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.

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.

Rage Sitemap Automator and iWeb SEO Tool are two different applications.
Use SEO Tool to add the title tag and meta description. These need to be added to the html file for every page of your website. SEO Tool stores all these so that when you republish you only need to add tags to any new pages and click the re-apply button to refresh the existing ones.
Once you have added. refreshe the tags with iWeb SEO Tool and uploaded the files with your FTP application, then open the site in Sitemap Automator and create and upload a new sitemap.
Once you have set up accounts with Google, Yahoo and Bing, verified your site with each and submitted a sitemap, on subsequent publishing Sitemap Automator will resubmit the sitemap with one button click. It will also notify Ask.com whch doesn't require an account since you can add your domain name to this URL to ping them...

Can't get a web page to validate with meta tags with w3c??

I have created a website for my school projects, and every week I have to add something to it for the course, and every monday I have to submit my code in a zipped folder to the professor, after running it through the w3c validation page, and passing, This current week, I was instructed to swork on SEO for my site, and add meta tags to the site to fish for traffic, and then I have to validate it through w3c and submit. Well, I did not complete this because w3c would not validate my page until I removed every single meta tag from the code, and I cannot for the life of me understand the error that is holding me back. So, in an effort to see if I could get some help here, I have included my code, and will try to explain what is happening and the code as well as the error from the validator service. Please have a look, help me, because I am totally lost here....
Thanks in advance!!

✉
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.
What in the world does this mean, because I am seriously lost on this, and the only way I could get around this was to completely remove the entire line, "<meta name="" content="Zachariah Lloyd, basketball, computers" /><meta fttp-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />", which removed all of my meta tags completely, in order to validate it?? I cannot see what is setting this thing off like that, I have never gottena validation error before, and I now know that they are written as meaningless gibberish that does not even remotely explain what is wrong, at least not to me....
Please help!!!!

Line 4 and line 5 are trying to do the same thing. Take out the
<meta fttp-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
line entirely and you will be good.

How do i add a META tag through mobile me?

Hello, Im trying to get my site verified on google using a meta tag.
Im not very computer literate. I can understand if some one can explain it to me. I know nothing about html or how it view or edit my site in html. I have read a few post on it but im kinda looking for a how too. Iv been told i can do it thorough iDisk, is that true?
Thanks in advance!
~Shawn

How do I add Meta tags to my website

I have produced a website in i web and published it to my .mac account.
I need to know how to add meta tags to get it recognised by the search engines.
The company I am using to do this want the ftp info. As I upload directly to my .mac account I am not sure what they need. Can you help please?

I think I may have a good workaround here, not sure how it will work with .mac as I dont use it, I am in control of my default page within Apache.
Create your site as normal within Iweb and publish it.
Outside of iWeb create your site's real default homepage by hand, that contains the meta tags and that redirects to your iWeb homepage. In this way any Search engine hits to your site will hit the external page first, reading the meta tags then get redirected to your real home page. Not ideal of course but at least you don't have to keep an eye on your metatag's being overwritten by republishing your homepage.
Here is the code from mine, it appears to work:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://+
+www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></t+
+itle><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Welcome.html" />+
+<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="enter,your,keywords,here">
+<META NAME="description" CONTENT="description of your website">+
</head><body></body></html>
This page will redirect to the "Welcome.html" page created in iWeb.
Hope this helps.

Best practice for implementing META tags for content items?

Hello,
The portal site I'm responsible for managing our content (www.sers.state.pa.us) runs on the following WebCenter products:
WebCenter Interaction 10.3.0.1
WebCenter Publisher 6.5
WebCenter Studio 2.2 MP1
Content Service 10gR3
The agency I work for is one of many for the commonwealth of PA, which use this product suite, and I'm encountering some confusion on how to apply META tags to the content items for our site, so we can have effective search results. According to the [W3C site's explanation on META tag standards|http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp], the tags for description, keywords, etc, should be within the head region of the HTML document. However, with how the WebCenter suite's configuration is set up, the head section of the HTML is closed off by the end of the template code for a common header portlet. I was advised to add fields to our presentation and data entry templates for content, to add these meta fields, however, since they are then placed within the body section of the HTML as a result, these tags fail to have any positive impact on the search results. Instead, many of our content items, when searched for, the description in the search results only shows text that is displayed in the header and left navigation of our template, which come early in the body section of the HTML.
Please advise as to possible method(s) that would be best to implement usage of META tags so we can get our pages containing content to come up in search results with this relevant data.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

if i remember right the index server will capture meta tags even if they are not in the <head> section. it is not well formed html but I think i remember that we created meta tags down in the body section and the index server still picked them up. you might try this and see if it still works. i believe it worked in 10gR3. Let me know your results.

Best Practice for Placing meta tags in HEAD of document

Good afternoon,
We are utilizing Oracle UCM's ability to dynamically generate pages based on page templates, region templates, and contributor data files that contributors may edit and publish. We have a specific need to include meta tags in the head section of each page that are custom to the data present in each contributor data file. Including the meta tags in the region template that pertains to a section of our website does not work, as it does not include a <head> section. Alternatively, I can not place the meta tags in the page template, as the data in each meta tag is specific to the metadata surrounding each contributor data file.
My question is this: Is there a best practice, or Oracle-supported method of accomplishing this task? I have to believe there is some way to accomplish this, as the need for meta tags for social media sites and search engines is very common.
Thank you very much for your time,
Josh

Thanks for the reply, Jiri.
I believe that the answer is 'yes' to both of your questions above. I do have a question about the formatting of the meta tag itself, as my main question is how do I extract the needed information from a particular CDF so that it is displayed in the <head> section located in the page template.
I have a Region Definition for the content section of my page with a 'Title' field, which a contributor can fill in, save, and create a Contributor Data File with their own specified title. Let's also say that my page template, which formats the entire page, looks like this (rough):
<html>
<head>
<title>Web page</title>
</head>
<body>



</body>
</html>
What would my <meta> tag look like for the following:
<meta property="og:title" content="Title of the content section"/>
Let's name our templates/definitions:
Page Template: PT_META
Region Template: RT_META
Region Definition: RD_META
Contributor Data File: CDF_META
In other words, how do I extract the information included in the Contributor Data File (as well as its metadata) for use in the Page Template? Is there some sort of Idoc Script call that can be used?
Thank you so much,
Josh
