If it's an XHTML document it should be <meta name="foo" content="bar" />.

I am trying to validate my homepage using the W3C HTML Validator. Below is
my html source codes :
<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Keywords" content="Mrs Yip's Homepage, genesiswong_2000, Tang
Dynasty, IKEA">
<meta name="Description" content="This is Mrs Yip Yen Chin personal
webpages">
</head>
The following is the error reported by W3C validator:
Line 9, column 0:
<meta name="Description" content="This is Mrs Yip Yen Chin personal we ...
^
Error: start tag was here
Line 10, column 6:
</head>
^
Error: end tag for "META" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this
What's wrong? META generalise syntax is <META NAME="Description"
content="x"> and <META NAME="Keywords" content="x">. META information
reside within <HEAD></HEAD>.
Thnk for your help.
