Definition and Usage

The http-equiv attribute can be used to simulate an HTTP response header.
The value of the http-equiv attribute depends on the value of the content attribute.
If the name attribute is set, the http-equiv attribute should not be set.
Browser Support
The http-equiv attribute is supported in all major browsers.
