<meta>

PURPOSE: To redirect the current page to another page. The content shows "10" which is the number of seconds until it refreshes and the file name or url of the redirect.

This is one of those tags that is different. There is NOT a </meta> tag. It is all incorporated into the one tag. Note there is a space after the end of the text and the /.

Below is a basic html document. The referenced html tag is in RED. All tags must have a start and a end tag. Most end tags have a / before the tags name, however there are a few that are done differently. The tags that end differently will be noted and highlighted. The order of the start and end tags is also very important to proper display of your page in a web browser.
