HTML Title Bar Problem

thetzfreak · Jun 3, 2005

Hey, I have a problem with the title bar. In between the <title></title> tags i type my title, but when i host it only the url of the site shows on top of the explorer window. I dont know why that is. Can someone please help me?

Thanks.

you sure your page begins like this ?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Spele.in -  leukste online games, flash spellen en filmpjes -</title>

?

Can you please post the code in between your <head> and </head> ?

thetzfreak · Jun 3, 2005

Sure i'll post what's in the head tags.

Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<title>Best Script Source - Home</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<LINK 
href="style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<STYLE>
 BODY {
  scrollbar-arrow-color:384278;
  scrollbar-shadow-color:FACB82;
  scrollbar-face-color:FACB82;
  scrollbar-highlight-color:384278;
  scrollbar-darkshadow-color:384278;
</STYLE>
</head>

Thanks a lot for your time.

works fine for me tho in IE and FF

This code should work fine.

thetzfreak · Jun 3, 2005

Ya, I just realized that when I opened the html file from my hard drive in a browser, the title bar worked fine. But, when it's hosted for some reason it doesn't work. When hosted, I looked at the source, and for some reason there is nothing in between the title tags!!!!!!! I think it is taking itself out somehow when I put it on the server. My saved html pages on my hard drive DO have the correct titles.

Look: http://ephi.blansh.com/BestScriptSource/

What should I do?

Hey,

You forgot to close your CSS Body style :

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<title>Best Script Source - Home</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<LINK
href="style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<STYLE>
BODY {
scrollbar-arrow-color:384278;
scrollbar-shadow-color:FACB82;
scrollbar-face-color:FACB82;
scrollbar-highlight-color:384278;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:384278; }
</STYLE>
</head>

Besides that I dont see any more errors.

thetzfreak · Jun 3, 2005

Ok, I just fixed that but the same problem occurs. Any more ideas to why the title is changing itself?

Im no expert but did you refresh the page (reload)

fish · Jun 5, 2005

It seems like the problem lies with your host. The title works with this link: http://blansh.com/ephi//BestScriptSource/index.htm but not with this one: http://ephi.blansh.com/BestScriptSource/

The one that doesn't work is just a big frame that loads the first URL that I listed and doesn't have a title tag. The solution should be very simple.

thetzfreak · Jun 5, 2005

Wow, you're right fish. But one thing though: Only the home page shows the correct title bar. When I go to Our Scripts the title bar is the same - home. It should say Our Scripts. What's the simple solution lol

fish · Jun 5, 2005

Oh...hehe...maybe it's not so simple. Where did you set up the subdomain? There should be an option for you to add a title.

AcornDomains.co.uk · Jun 5, 2005

Your problem is because your domain has a framed homepage so the content you post is not what the visitor arrives at on the domain.

Check your forwarding options in your domain control panel and change it to "No web-forwarding".

Currently it is using the following frameset:

<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="top" src="http://blansh.com/ephi//BestScriptSource/" noresize />
<frame name="easydns.v4.webfwd1" src="about:blank" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize />

Oh thats a problem then because I don't have access to that stuff, unfortunately. I really do appreciate your help with this guys. At least i understand the problem now and gained more knowledge!

You next option would be to set it with javascript, add this to your body tag.

<body onload="top.window.document.title='This is the title of the page'">
