RE: [WSG] meta tag standards

Hello again list!

 

Okay, thanks for all the feedback! Especially Kornel Lesinski for the link to (http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/sect21.html) where I found (http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N4622.html), and this piece of code:

 

<xsl:template match="ImageInfo">
  <img src="">
</xsl:template>


 



I have never seen that done before with the XPath
_expression_ in curly brackets. It’s not very widely documented at all! 



 



So now, instead of using this XSL:



 



<meta name=”description”>



<xsl:attribute
name="content">



<xsl:value-of
select="base/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'description']" />



</xsl:attribute>



</meta>



 



Producing this HTML:



 



<meta name="description" content="Netring Media and Technology are a">
</meta>
 
I can use this:
 
        <meta name="description" content="{base/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'description']}" /> 
 
To produce this:
 
        <meta name="description" content="Netring Media and Technology are a …" />
 
Also, thanks to Bert Doorn for showing me where it says that a separate closing tag is forbidden for Meta tags. 
It’s always good when someone can point to a reference rather than just saying so.
 
I think that I will right a short entry on my site about this. Thanks all again for the help.
 
Regards,
Phil Baines

Subject: [WSG] meta tag standards






 



Hello List, 



 



Is there anything wrong with closing meta tags like so:



 



    <meta name="keywords" content="Web, Development, Design, Hosting, Ecommerce, IT, Consultancy, Logos, Logo, Websites">
    </meta>
 
The reason that I ask is that I am developing our new company website (http://dev.netring.co.uk/netring2004 - I started it in 2004) and I am using XML and XSLT as the backend template system. The problem is that I can’t get XSLT to close my Meta tag (<meta />) in the way that I wish it to be.
 
I was wondering if there was actually anything wrong with closing it in a separate closing tag. 
 
Thanks for any advice,
Phil Baines
