I am stuck on one sentence while reading about meta tag in html that "If the http-equiv attribute is set, the name attribute should not be set" . I've done search about this but I couldn't find any reason behind this.
Would anyone tell the reason behind this?
The http-equiv you can think of it like an instruction for the browser (refresh, Set-Cookie, expiers)...by setting an http-equiv property you are changing browser behavior.
For name attribute, on the other hand, you are simply describing something (title, keywords, etc.).
An action and a description are different types of ideas.
