<HEAD> ... </HEAD> Document head block

Definition:

This tag defines the head of an HTML document which is an unordered collection of information about the document, such as:

Attributes:

None.

Context:

<HEAD> ... </HEAD> is legal within:
<HTML>

The following markup can be used within <HEAD> ... </HEAD>

<BASE> <ISINDEX> <LINK> <NEXTID> <TITLE>

Suggested style/usage:

<HEAD> ... </HEAD> is a required element at the head of an HTML document, for strictly interpreted HTML. Even though many browsers will render documents that lack a <HEAD> ... </HEAD> block at the beginning, it's still good practice to include one, especially if you want to establish a BASE URL when you have numerous graphics or local document links in your page.

Note: although the <HEAD> ... </HEAD> block produces no browser output, other than a document title, it remains an important component of proper HTML page design.

Example:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>A Completely Pointless HTML Page</TITLE><BASE HREF="http://www.microsquish.com/default.html"></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>
