The Tag Is Not Located in the Section
Modify the HTML source code to place the tag in the section of the Web page. Note that this may require adding the and tags to the Web page.

The Syntax of the Tag Is Incorrect
Modify the HTML source code to correct the syntax of the tag. For example, a tag might look like this  where [n] is the number of seconds the browser program pauses before loading the new Web page.
