The easiest way would be to throw a literal control into the title and
just set the text of that. It looks like you can set the title to
runat=server, but VS.net deletes it.

Add an id attribute to the Title tag. Also add the runat="server" attribute.

<title runat="server" id="myTitle" />

Then from your code...

protected HtmlGenericControl myTitle;
...
myTitle = "Sir Barrow of Chorley";

You may find VS.NET keeps trashing the runat="server" in your title tag.
VS.NET team - can you hear me, *please* *leave* *our* *html* *alone* :-)

Dreamweaver doesn't rewrite it so woot!

Can I have that in vb please Ollie?

I've tried=20

Line 13: Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs)
Line 14:=20
Line 15:     protected HtmlGenericControl myTitle
Line 16:     titleTag =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley"
Line 17:     end protected=20

But I get a BC30205: End of statement expected.

I'm looking now but this protected lark is uncharted terroritory for me

Add an id attribute to the Title tag. Also add the runat=3D"server"
attribute.

<title runat=3D"server" id=3D"myTitle" />

Then from your code...

protected HtmlGenericControl myTitle;
...
myTitle =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley";

You may find VS.NET keeps trashing the runat=3D"server" in your title =
tag.

Sorry guys - still not getting this
Test page is:

<%@ Page Language=3D"VB" ContentType=3D"text/html"
ResponseEncoding=3D"iso-8859-1" %>
<script language=3D"VB" runat=3D"server">
Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs)

    Dim myTitle As HtmlGenericControl
     myTitle =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley"
=09
End Sub
</script>
<html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title id=3D"myTitle" runat=3D"server">notChanged</title>
<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; =
charset=3Diso-8859-1"
/>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

I get this error:
Compiler Error Message: BC30311: Value of type 'String' cannot be
converted to 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl'.

I've also tried myTitle.InnerText but no joy (I think my logic is
screwed there anyway.
It must be doable as I've found some pages in german and Thai that show
how you can with codebehind, but not any with inline code.
It'd be awesome for search engine positiioning if I could suss it.

Cheers
Damian

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'Text' is not a member of

Hence the innerHTML bit but no banana on that one either.

Is the page.
Its doing my head in as otherwise I'd have to manually manipulate 400+
pages just for the sake of changing a couple of bits.

The code is:

<%@ Page Language=3D"VB" ContentType=3D"text/html"
ResponseEncoding=3D"iso-8859-1" %>
<script language=3D"VB" runat=3D"server">
=09
Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs)

    Dim myTitle As HtmlGenericControl
     myTitle.InnerText =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley"
=09
End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title id=3D"myTitle" runat=3D"server">notChanged</title>
<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; =

What if you do it like this:

protected myTitle as HtmlGenericControl

Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs)

myTitle.InnerText = "Sir Barrow of Chorley"
    
End Sub

http://www.travelcounsellors.com/title.aspx

Is the page.
Its doing my head in as otherwise I'd have to manually manipulate 400+
pages just for the sake of changing a couple of bits.

The code is:

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html"
ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %> <script language="VB" runat="server">
    
Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs)

    Dim myTitle As HtmlGenericControl
     myTitle.InnerText = "Sir Barrow of Chorley"
    
End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title id="myTitle" runat="server">notChanged</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/> </head> <body> </body> </html>

Also try .InnerText, what error did you get on .InnerHTML?

I tried that

Hence the innerHTML bit but no banana on that one either.

I've also tried myTitle.InnerText but no joy (I think my logic is

Add an id attribute to the Title tag. Also add the runat="server"
attribute.

<title runat="server" id="myTitle" />

Then from your code...

protected HtmlGenericControl myTitle;
...
myTitle = "Sir Barrow of Chorley";

You may find VS.NET keeps trashing the runat="server" in your title tag.

try this..

<html>
<head>
<asp:literal runat=server id=litTitle />
</head>
</html>

( excuse my VB - I am a C# person )

Public Class WebForm1...

Protected litTitle AS System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal

Private Sub Page_Load()...
litTitle.Text = "myNewPageTitle"
End Sub

End Class

I would even suggest moving the whole idea into a user control, title could
be a property, the control could be cached, you could also include other
code global to your pages...CSS, script, META etc. ( 'tis what I do )

Have you got any examples of this?=20
If you don't mind, a copy of a page and the ascx would be nice.

James' solution doesn't work.

I'm going to look into the controls thing a bit but I think I need to do
some digging first as I have *no idea* what you're talking about.

<head>
<asp:literal runat=3Dserver id=3DlitTitle />
</head>
</html>

( excuse my VB - I am a C# person )

Public Class WebForm1...

Protected litTitle AS System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal

Private Sub Page_Load()...
litTitle.Text =3D "myNewPageTitle"
End Sub

End Class

I would even suggest moving the whole idea into a user control, title
could be a property, the control could be cached, you could also include
other code global to your pages...CSS, script, META etc. ( 'tis what I
do )

I tried that
Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'Text' is not a member of
'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl'.

Hence the innerHTML bit but no banana on that one either.

Try .Text

myTitle.Text =3D ""

Sorry guys - still not getting this
Test page is:

<%@ Page Language=3D"VB" ContentType=3D"text/html"
ResponseEncoding=3D"iso-8859-1" %> <script language=3D"VB" =
runat=3D"server">
Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs)

Dim myTitle As HtmlGenericControl
myTitle =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley"

End Sub
</script>
<html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title id=3D"myTitle" runat=3D"server">notChanged</title>
<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; =
charset=3Diso-8859-1"
/> </head> <body> </body> </html>

I get this error:
Compiler Error Message: BC30311: Value of type 'String' cannot be
converted to 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl'.

I've also tried myTitle.InnerText but no joy (I think my logic is
screwed there anyway. It must be doable as I've found some pages in
german and Thai that show how you can with codebehind, but not any with
inline code. It'd be awesome for search engine positiioning if I could
suss it.

Cheers
Damian

Dreamweaver doesn't rewrite it so woot!

Can I have that in vb please Ollie?

I've tried

Line 13: Public Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs) Line 14:

Line 15: protected HtmlGenericControl myTitle
Line 16: titleTag =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley"
Line 17: end protected

But I get a BC30205: End of statement expected.

I'm looking now but this protected lark is uncharted terroritory for me
:)

Add an id attribute to the Title tag. Also add the runat=3D"server"
attribute.

<title runat=3D"server" id=3D"myTitle" />

Then from your code...

protected HtmlGenericControl myTitle;
...
myTitle =3D "Sir Barrow of Chorley";

You may find VS.NET keeps trashing the runat=3D"server" in your title =
tag.
VS.NET team - can you hear me, *please* *leave* *our* *html* *alone* :-)

this is not a client issue.
this is a server-side issue.

There is a really simple way to do this...

***title.aspx***
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="title.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="test.title"%>
<html>
<head>
<title><%=strTitle%></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

***title.aspx.cs***
...
public class title : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public String strTemp;
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
strTemp = "Dave's Test";
}
}
...

***VB Version***
***title.aspx.vb***

Public Class title
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Public strTitle as String

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender as System.Object, ByVal e as
System.EventArgs)
strTitle = "Dave's Test"
End Sub

End Class

let me know if this works for you.

We've sussed this now, and while it's been mentioned to be OT, I'll
re-iterate the solution *if you're not a code behind fan* (which I'm
not)

Use a literal control instead.
However, for a more rounded, robust and scalable solution, wrapping the
literals in a control is a smart move. The ascx could draw its values
from database values in the aspx and you should have a fairly sound
search-engine friendly solution.

The reason for this being a client side issue (in my mind) is that the
rendered code is displayed to the SE spider as HTML, which is what I was
trying to get at. To further enhance the search engine experience, it'd
be nice to be able to create 3 different literals, each of which was
optimized for search engine tags.=20

Eg - in my page templates (DreamweaverMX and ASP.Matrix) I use
xxxtitlexxx, xxxdescxxx, xxxsearchxxx and xxxfulldescxxx. When I've
finished the page, I do a global replace on these terms which affect
such things as alt tags, hidden <hx> tags, comments, href's, noframe
tags etc. What I should have done at the start was to create common
elements such as images, title (ignore the meta bits - Google doesn't
use em) as a runat and set the alt/text/whatever value to a litera.=20

You can't expect a database to craft a search engine page for you but
the manual tweaking of 3 lines is acceptable to me.

Cheers for everyones input.
:D
