Examples Reading the metadata name of a meta elementThe following example queries the first <meta> element in a document. The name value is logged to the console, showing that keywords have been specified for the document:
// given <meta name="keywords" content="documentation, HTML, web technologies">
const meta = document.querySelector("meta");
console.log(meta.name);
// "keywords"
The following example creates a new <meta> element with a name attribute set to author. The content attribute sets the author of the document and the element is appended to the document <head>:
let meta = document.createElement("meta");
meta.name = "author";
meta.content = "Franz Kafka";
document.head.appendChild(meta);
