Question

Title (in ASP.NET @ Page directive) not rendering in web page

Answer 1

A:

You've got to use the HTML tag as well :)

In your master page, inside the head tag you should have:

<title><%=Title%></title>

This should not be explicitly required. The Title attribute of the Page directive is supposed to fill it in.

Nah, you're barking up the wrong tree there. The Title attribute of the page directive should be an entire alternative to the <title> element. In your example, you'll get a 'Title not defined'-type error.

yeah ... forgot about that... and I write ASP.NET all day :) We haven't touched our masters for months though :) To me a web page is just a bunch of controls in content placeholders :)

Answer 2

+1 A:

Oops... A basic error! [aren't they always?]

Anyone spot a missing runat="server" in the element?

Oops.

Doh! I'd checked one of my own apps and didn't spot the missing runAt server... sigh...

Hmmm... voted down - I wonder why... People, eh?!

CJM 2008-12-14 22:57:59

I think folks vote things down when you post a new item instead of using the "add comment" feature against your original post. This happened to me the other day :(

deadbug 2008-12-14 23:00:01

But this was a valid answer. The runAt attribute was missing..

BlackMael 2008-12-14 23:05:28

Indeed - it was an answer to the question rather than an edit to the question.... Not to worry - it matters little. :)

Answer 3

A:

This is what you need to have, in the masterpage, if the title is coming from the page directive:

<head runat="server">
<title><%=Page.Title%></title>
</head>
