<HEAD>

The HEAD element is one of the two major sections which make up an HTML document. The other element is the BODY. This element contains all of the meta-information for the page including the title, description and keywords for search engines.

It also may contain references to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and client-side scripting such as Javascript. Another special tag, META REFRESH, will redirect the user to another page on the site.
