0	if you are using master pages, do not use <head runat="server"> inside child page... you can add necessary header tags in <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server"> </asp:Content> if you do not have any master page, then make sure whether <head runat="server"> tag is not repeating.

0	Hi Mushinathk If you are using Master page then there will not be any head tag in content page, so there is no question to put <head runat="server"> in content page. So my question is still remaining unanswered. Regards, Vikash Pathak Vikash, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Vikash: Please have a look at this. Hope this helps! The head element contains a runat="server" attribute, which indicates that it is a server control (rather than static HTML). All ASP.NET pages derive from the Page class, which is located in the System.Web.UI namespace. This class contains a Header property that provides access to the page's region. Using the Header property we can set an ASP.NET page's title or add additional markup to the rendered section. It is possible, then, to customize a content page's element by writing a bit of code in the page's Page_Load event handler. ' Programmatically add a <meta> element to the Header Dim keywords As New HtmlMeta() keywords.Name = "keywords" keywords.Content = "master page,asp.net,tutorial" Page.Header.Controls.Add(keywords) http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/master-pages/specifying-the-title-meta-tags-and-other-html-headers-in-the-master-page-vb Vikash, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Dim keywords As New HtmlMeta() 

keywords.Name = "keywords" 

keywords.Content = "master page,asp.net,tutorial" 

Page.Header.Controls.Add(keywords)
