Meta Tags under <head id="head" runat="server">

Templates and document types

Trying to get meta tags in on pages but having problems with <head id="head" runat="server"> messing around on Umbraco 4.0.3

In the master template I have the following:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head id="head" runat="server">

<title><umbraco:Item field="pageName" runat="server"></umbraco:Item></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="" />
<meta name="description" content='<umbraco:Item field="Metadata-Description" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>' />
<meta name="keywords" content='<umbraco:Item field="Metadata-Keywords" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>' />

<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

But when I view the page I get the following come through:

<head id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderDefault_head"><title>
    Ross Young Fitness
</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><meta name="google-site-verification" content="" /><meta name="description" content="&lt;umbraco:Item field=&quot;Metadata-Description&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>&lt;/umbraco:Item>" /><meta name="keywords" content="&lt;umbraco:Item field=&quot;Metadata-Keywords&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>&lt;/umbraco:Item>" /><link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

obvously this is a problem

&lt;umbraco:Item field=&quot;Metadata-Description&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>&lt;

where I should be seing my Keywords, any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kev

I had the same problem once and the suggestion was: make a macro that takes the itemfields as a parameter and use that one.

call macro:

umbraco:Macro keywords="[$"Metadata-Keywords]" description="[$Metadata-Description]" Alias="metaInformation" runat="server" />

macro:

<xsl:variable name="keywords" select="/macro/keywords-parameter"/>
<xsl:variable name="description" select="/macro/description-parameter"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
    <meta name="keywords" content="{$keywords}" />
    <meta name="description" content="{$description}" />
</xsl:template>

What are you doing to the head in your .net code to need to have runat server in there? Strip it out if you don't need it.

Runway sucks, use one of the navigation macros instead, much better :)

Has this bug already been solved? Creating a macro works, but it should work without using a macro of course.
