The link isn't in the head.
You are using HTML 4 so /
will end a tag. This means that <meta />
is the same as <meta>>
which is the same as <meta>>
.
You can't have character data in the <head>
but the end tag for <head>
and the start tag for <body>
are optional. Therefore, <meta />
is the same as:
<meta>
</head>
<body>
>
Since the link element appears after this, it is in the body.
Get rid of the /
. You aren't writing XHTML.
