The httpEquiv property sets or gets an HTTP header in the content attribute.

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.

Some commonly used HTTP-header values are:

Value	Description
content-type	the character set for the contents of the document. Example: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
default-style	the preferred style sheet to use. Example: <meta http-equiv="default-style" content="the documents preferred stylesheet">
refresh	a time interval for the document to refresh itself. Example: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">
