Using META Tag for Automatic Refreshing and Forwarding  

written by Samrat P at Mar 29, 2008

You can use to tell the web browser to automatically move to another web page, or refresh the current page, after a specified period of time.

To have the page automatically refresh itself every x seconds, use a tag like this:

HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"

CONTENT="5">

This tells the browser to refresh the page (HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"), and that it should do so every five seconds (CONTENT="5").

Suppose, however, that you want the page to refresh itself by going automatically to another page. This is common, for example, when someone has moved their home page to a new location, but want someone who goes to the old location to still find a pointer. You could put this tag in the page at the old location: 

     HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"

    CONTENT="5; URL=autoforward_target.html">

In this case the tag works is like the first refresh example, only with a little added information. The first part is the same: CONTENT="5; URL=autoforward_target.html" tells the browser that the page should be refreshed. CONTENT="5; URL=autoforward_target.html" gives two pieces of information: that the page should refresh after five seconds, and that the new URL should be autoforward_target.html .

In a situation like this, you should also provide a regular link to the new page.

You can also use tags to ensure that the browser does not cache the HTML document. Caching is the process of saving the HTML document locally, on the computer's hard drive, for future use so the browser doesn't have to download the document again. To ensure that the browser does not cache a particular page use the following code:

HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA"
CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

What are Meta Tags and how to use them.  

written by Samrat P at Nov 27, 2007

Meta elements are HTML or XHTML elements used to provide structured metadata about a web page. Such elements must be placed as tags in the head section of an HTML or XHTML document. Meta elements can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.

eg:

<meta name="keywords" content="SamratHacks,Blogger templates">

The main Meta tags that interest us are Description & Keywords

    • Depending on the search engine, this will be displayed along with the title of your page in an index. "content" could be a word, sentence or even paragraph to describe your page. Keep this reasonably short, concise and to the point. However, don't be so mean with your description that its not an appropriate reflection of the contents!
    • Choose whatever keywords you think are appropriate, seperated by commas. Remember to include synoyms, americanisms and so on. So, if you had a page on cars, you might want to include keywords such as car, cars, vehicles, automobiles and so on.
The Search engines crawl the web pages and check the meta tags
to find some additional information about that web site

Here You can generate a meta tags and place them after <head>
