The <meta> Element
The <meta>
element places an
item of arbitrary meta-information in a WML deck. This item is
structured as a property name and its
value. You can put any number of
<meta> elements into the
<head> element. This can add keywords for
indexing purposes, store hints about the content of the deck, and
store any other information. No standard properties have yet been
defined for WML, but conventions will develop, just as they did with
HTML.
Tip
Note that some browsers may not support all the features of the
<meta> element.
Attributes of the <meta> Element
-
name(string; optional) Gives the name of this property. Meta-information with this attribute is intended for server-side applications, so it may be removed before it gets to the browser.
-
http-equiv(string; optional) An alternative for the
nameattribute (you can’t specify both on the same<meta>element). If this attribute is present, it specifies that the property should be sent to the browser via HTTP or WSP headers (WAP gateways and WSP headers are explained in Appendix B ). For example, this element tells any proxy servers or gateways (as well as the browser itself) not to cache the deck:<meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache"/>
-
forua(boolean; optional) If present and set to
true, indicates that the property is intended for the use of the browser. (uacomes from user agent, the term that the WAP specifications use to refer to the browser.)-
content(string; required) Specifies the value of the property ...
