PROFILE — NN n/a IE n/a HTML 4

Synopsis

PROFILE=”URLList"

Optional

A meta data profile is a separate file (or browser built-in named definition) that defines one or more meta data property behaviors. In some ways, a profile is like a header for meta data whose properties are assigned in plain view within META elements inside a HEAD element. Future browsers and external systems (such as search engines) may use the profile information to extend the typical name/value assignments in META elements as implemented in Version 4 (and earlier) browsers.

Example

<HEAD PROFILE="http://www.giantco.com/profiles/common">
    <META NAME="Author" content="Jane Smith">
    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="benefits,insurance,">
    ...
</HEAD>

Value

Any valid URL or browser profile constant.

Default

Browser default.
