Courses Plus Student 1,339 Pointsthe validator says that my category meta tag is wrong.
I only need to have that right to present my project. So, can anyone help me? I don't really know what I am supposed to right into the category meta tag.
Here is the code
<meta name="description" content="Cello Music Types"/>
<meta name="keywords" content="Cello,Music,2Cellos,Thepianoguys"/>
<meta name="author" content="Percy Vasquez">
<meta name="category" content="Modern and Clasical music performed by the cello"/>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/grid.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style4cello.css">
Thank you guys,

You need to change 'name' for 'itemprop' if your adding 'meta' to the body.
i.e….
<meta itemprop="category" content="Modern and Clasical music performed by the cello"/>
and add another s in classical ;)

According to MDN the name attribute "should not be set if one of the attribute itemprop, http-equiv or charset is also set."

Courses Plus Student 1,339 PointsOhh .. I see, Thanks a lot guys. Damn I love this Forum, people can even tell me my grammatical errors. Thanks again However, three is still a problem. This is what the Validator.w3.org said
Line 17, Column 87: The itemprop attribute was specified, but the element is not a property of any item. …temprop="category" content="Modern and Classical music performed by the cello">
I actually did what you guys told me, but the validator still says that I've got an error
<meta itemprop="category" content="Modern and Classical music performed by the cello">

Do you have it within the 'head' element?
I've put the code through code pen and find no probs with actual code.
Percy Vasquez
Courses Plus Student 1,339 PointsYes, it is in the head element.

39,199 PointsI did some further research, I don't think the category meta tag is valid anymore check out http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/document-metadata.html#standard-metadata-names
