The Head Section

<HEAD>...</HEAD>

These tags are used as a container for the head section of the HTML document. Items between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> are not normally displayed on your WWW browser's screen, but used for indexing, URL resolution, etc.

Information in the HEAD section is normally used for building automated indexes, identifying contact information for the owner of the document, and other administrative purposes.
