    The title of my site is Disappearing from the code after publishing. What is left is <title></title>. The initial code is the following:
    Anyone got an idea?


    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:eek:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice">

    <head>

    <title></title>

    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">
    <META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
    <meta name="Rating" content="Safe For Kids">
    <meta name="Pragma" content="">
    <meta name="distribution" content="Global">
    <meta name="Copyright" content="Greek Sailing Resource Site">
    <meta name="Classification" content="Greek Sailing Resource Site ">

    So whatever you enter between <tittle></tittle> tags is disappearing, is that what you are saying?

    Yes, and of course after that there is no title showing on the browsers top left corner.

    Have you entered the title content manually, not depending of that PoS Word to export it?

    Are you using ASCII characters? Unless I'm completely off base, only charaters with entity values <128 dec may be used there.

    cheers,

    I used ASCII characters.
    I suspect some of the meta tags underneath are in conflict.

    Good

    Should have no effect. After Word? publishes to a file, is the title content missing at that point? If so, have you opened that file with a plain text editor and filled it in, and then uploaded to the server?

    I do all editing and publishing with FrontPage. After I publish the title disappears. The title is in English.

    Before publishing to server
    <head>
    <title>Greek Sailing Resource Site</title>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">

    After publishing to server
    <head>
    <title></title>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">


    Could it be the charset set to windows-1253? Thats the one to display greek language charactes and is needed there.

    If I put the title twice one stays after the publishing and it is working fine. How strange.

    Before publishing
    <head>
    <title>Greek Sailing Resource Site</title>
    <title>Greek Sailing Resource Site</title>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">

    After publishing
    <title></title>
    <title>Greek Sailing Resource Site</title>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">

    The fix? Get rid of FrontPage. While all wysiwyg html generators are bad, FrontPage is so bad, it makes the rest look good.

    Instead of uploading from FP, save the file locally. Open the file in a text editor and fix the title content if needed. Then, upload with your regular ftp client.

    cheers,
