The HTML <head> element contains the page's title and description, and some optional scripts and styles. It is usually placed right after the opening <html> tag and right before the opening <body> tag. <Title> is always inserted first within the head. To apply CSS directly into an HTML document, you must insert the code in the <head> section (or at the very beginning of the <body>) for it to work.

UsageEdit

To apply this is an HTML document, use:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>The title</title>
        Head content
    </head>
    <body>
        Body content
    </body>

To use internal CSS in the <head> tag, use:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>The title</title>
        <style type="text/css">
            h1 {
                background-color:black;
                color:white;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        Body content
    </body>
</html>

Rendering Edit

The <head> element defines document properties, and is by itself not visible.

Typical CSS representation:

head {
    display: none;
}

Coding rules Edit

The <head> element is the first child element of the <html> element. It must contain a <title> element, can contain an <isindex> and an <base> element, and can contain several <script>, <style>, <meta>, <link> and <object> elements.
