<meta .... >?

What does the meta tags mean? Another question of mine is how do you make a javascript code that will send you an email when someone types it in the password box? Thanks in advance.

Meta tags provide a description and provide keywords for a webpage. This data may then be used by search engines. But many search engines no long er use the meta data anymore due to keyword stuffing.

I still use META NAME and META DESCRIPTION, but they aren't really necessary.

Code:
<meta name="Description" content="The Tech FAQ">
<meta name="keywords" content="Tech FAQ">

I think some search engines (the lesser known ones) make use of it, but Google and Yahoo do not I believe.

Meta can still be useful, I always use meta tags for my sites, there isn't really any harm in doing so.

I include the meta tags for keyword and description, but not much else.

I always include meta tags with my sites, they really don't do any harm, and it doesn't take that long to add them.
