HTML Tutorials: TITLE

Usage Recommendation
use it

<TITLE> states the title of the document. <TITLE> always goes in the <HEAD> section.

this code	produces this
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>My Home Page</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hi There! </BODY> </HTML>	this page

Most browsers show the title of the page at the top of the window

The text inside <TITLE> is not displayed in the document. However, most browsers will display the title at the top of the window.

Don't confuse <TITLE> with headers. Although it is common to put the same text in <TITLE> as in <H1 ...>, so that the "title" is the first thing on the page, they are two separate tags and two separate contents:

this code	produces this
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>My Home Page</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>My Home Page</H1> Hi There! </BODY> </HTML>	this page

Search engines such as AltaVista, Infoseek, and Webcrawler will use the <TITLE> content to display the title of the page when they return information about it. It makes your page look bad if they instead display "No Title".
