    my questions are:

    which format is correct? use "/>" or ">" at the end?
    <meta name="keywords" content="____________" />
    <meta name="description" content="____________" />

    <meta name="keywords" content="____________" >
    <meta name="description" content="____________" >

    and is there any maximum length for meta keywords, description and title?

    thanks


    Regards,

    If you want to validate your site according to W3C format for SEO reasons then < " " /> is the perfect one and <> will show you the warning....
    Thank you.

    The /> is needed to be valid xhtml, I believe. Basically, it means that it is self closing. Just like <input /> and <br />.

    Basically, if you want your site to validate as xhtml, you'll need />

    garrettheel is right. The end slash works as a closing tag for those tags that dont have a defined closing tags. Omitting that wont make a visual difference either in html or xhtml, but will cause problem in validating the site if its defined as xhtml.
