How do I access an html meta tag from asp.net vb code (dynamically
during "run time")?  A code snippet would be sufficient.  Thanks.

In ur aspx page add the following line

 1. <META http-equiv='keyword' content='keyword' runat='server' id='keyword' />


 delcate keyword as protected HTMLGeneric control at the class level

 2. Protected keyword As HtmlGenericControl
  
 now in the page_load event of ur aspx.vb file add follwing

  Dim i As Integer
  keyword.Attributes("http-equiv") = "refresh"
  keyword.Attributes("content") = "30"


 here actually we set the meta - refresh tag 
 like same u can set ur own attribute values dynamically

 becoz it will treated as server tag and that's why we can set its attributes

Thanks twins78, you are correct.  I thought it should work that way
but never followed through with it since the dotnet aspx editor does
not recognize "ID" as an attribute of a meta tag.  You're the man.
