Difference between <meta name="title"> tag and <title></title> tag
html, meta, seo
Solution
`<title>` is a required element on any HTML page to be valid markup, and will be what is displayed as the page title in your browser's tab/window title. For instance, try inputting the following markup into the W3C Markup Validator (via "Direct Input"):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>
This will produce an error that there is no instance of `<title>` in `<head>`.
The `<meta name="title" content="page-title">` element is just that -- metadata about your page, that any client browser or web crawler can use or not use as it wants. Whether it is used or not will depend on the crawler/client in question, as none of them are required to look for or not look for it.
So in short, you should have a `<title>` element if you want valid markup. The `<meta>` tag is going to depend on whether you want to provide for crawlers/clients, and you'd probably have to check documentation for if a particular crawler uses it.
Problem
Please clarify what is the difference between `<meta name="title">` tag and `<title></title>` tag. ``` <title>Page title</title> <meta name="title" content="Page title"> ``` If both are used, which is most prioritised? I observed some sites that have both `<meta name="title">` and `<title></title>` tags and both are the same, which is expected, please confirm? If we didn't use `<meta name="title">` tag title, would I have any problem regarding SEO? ``` <head> <title>Stackoverflow</title> <meta name="description" content="free source"> <meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,XML,JavaScript"> </head> ```
