You may have a Title attribute in the <%@ Page %> directive.

I did have a Title there, but removing it didn't help. What should I do with it?

Answer 2

A:

wired I had the same issue and I end up using this format

   <title><%= Html.Encode(ViewData["Title"])  %> - mysite</title>

in this way the title is controlled through the controller

Rony 2009-06-23 00:42:10

Arguably the view should be responsible for determining the title and not the controller.

Joseph Daigle 2009-06-23 03:06:58

I wouldn't even say "arguably." Titles are most certainly view logic, and probably 95% of the time, a dynamic title is based on your model.

Answer 3

+5 A:

Use this:

<title>
  <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="titleContent" runat="server" />
  <%= "- My Site" %>
</title>

The reason is that everything rendered in the head is rendered as a control.

See this question for some further links, and other ways of solving it.

Thank you, that was really annoying me

Answer 4

A:

Have you tried taking the runat="server" bit out of the head tag? I don't have a machine to test on right now, but that looks a bit odd to me.

Answer 5

A:

I use this markup in Site.Master file:

<title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" />
    <asp:Literal runat="server" Text=" - MySite" />
</title>

It looks similar to boymc's suggestion.

Alexander Prokofyev 2009-06-23 04:28:41

Why asp:ContentPlaceHolder on the title replaces the whole title?
