Write & Format Meta Tags?

J

John Horst

Porbably the easiest way would be to add this in the <head></head>
section:

<asp:Literal runat="server" id="metaPlaceHolder"></asp:Literal>

Then in Page_Load you would iterate through whatever dynamic source you
have for your meta tag info and add the html line by line:

this.metaPlaceHolder.Text = "<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"one, two,
three\">\n";

Anybody know how to dynamically write the meta tags using code so they
are formatted on a separate line in the HTML source?
Preferred or optimal framework classes that may be used in this regard?

<meta... />
<meta... />
<meta... />

My last was missing something...

Then in Page_Load you would iterate through whatever dynamic source you
have for your meta tag info and add the html line by line:

this.metaPlaceHolder.Text = "<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"one, two,
three\">\n\t\t";
this.metaPlaceHolder.Text += "<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"one,
two, three\">";

The /n add the CrLf and the /t/t adds two tabs to line the tags up.

Thanks Curt and John. Consider this...

// HtmlMeta Class [1],[2]
HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();
meta.Attributes.Add("description", "blah blah blah");
HtmlHead head = (HtmlHead)Page.Header;
head.Controls.Add(meta);

But using that class concatentates the text in the HTML source. You'd think
the persons who wrote that class would have at least considered doing it
right because I haven't determined a trick to work-around yet and it looks
like if we want readable results we will have to resort to the use of a
control in the head element.
