Resource Description Area

Resource description area shows a short content of the selected document. This content is being extracted from the first 200 visible characters of the document or "Description" Meta tag. This tag can be used in the following manner:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
 <TITLE>This is the title</TITLE>
 <META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="This is a short document description.">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

Step 1: Store "description" field
