i want to create a meta tag, set its attributes, and add it into the <head>, but the following doesnt work for me

var imgbaroff=document.createElement('meta');
imgbaroff.setAttribute('httpEquiv','imagetoolbar');
imgbaroff.setAttribute('content','no');
document.head.appendChild(imgbaroff);

changed it, but still doesnt work. it stalls on the last line
document.head.appendChild(imgbaroff);
is that the right way to append something to the head?

No, a little more complex:
//create META tag
var imgbaroff=document.createElement('meta');
imgbaroff.setAttribute('http-equiv','imagetoolbar');
imgbaroff.setAttribute('content','no');
//find the HEAD
var list=document.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("*");
var tags="";
for(var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
if(list[i].tagName=="HEAD") {
break;
}
}
var HeadTag=list[i];
//insert META tag
HeadTag.insertBefore(imgbaroff, list[i+1]);
//Has it worked?
for(var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
if(list[i].tagName=="META" && list[i].getAttribute('http-equiv')=="imagetoolbar") {
alert("META tag added");
}
}

The imagetoolbar only works for IE6. The tag may need to be present when the document loads.
Maybe the galleryimg="no" works dynamically (see here (http://www.thesitewizard.com/webdesign/imagetoolbar.shtml))

Well, it can be done easier ...

document.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("HEAD")[0].appendChild();

Or, a bit more eye-pleasant:

headTag = document.documentElementsByTagName("HEAD")[0];
headTag.appendChild();

:)
