meta element

Specifies general information about the VoiceXML document.

Syntax

<meta 
content = "string"
http-equiv = "string"
name = "string"
/>

Attributes

content	Required. The value of name.
http-equiv	The name of an HTTP response header (if name is not specified).
name	A label identifying the type of meta information specified by content. You can define any type (if http-equiv is not specified).

Parents

vxml

Children

None.

Remarks

The name and http-equiv attributes are mutually exclusive. When specifying a meta element, one of these attributes is required.

The information specified using the meta element is programmatically available as read-only variables named session.meta.name. This feature is a Tellme extension.

Examples

In this example, some meta elements are set and then used programmatically within the application.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.1"
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml">
  <meta name="author" content="John Smith" />
  <meta name="version" content="2.5.1" />

  <form>
    <block>
      This application was written by 
      <value expr="session.meta.author" />
      The version is <value expr="session.meta.version" />
      <exit />
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>
