title meta tags in different browsers

    I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on a situation I'm having with my title tags.
    I recently changed my site to a php site.
    My title tags come out fine in my web persons browser (IE 5.5), but in IE6 (my browser) the title tags appear as the url which is
    http://www.XXXX.com/index.php?page=XXXXX

    How do I know if they are entered correctly and how can I make the title tags appear proper across all browsers?

    Well, they are not entered correctly.

    The title must be between <head> and </head> and there may only be one title (and one head). You page should be like this:
    <html>
    <head>
    ...
    <title>Your title</title>
    ...
    </head>
    <body>
    ...
    </body>
    </html>
    Code (markup):
    Your page has 2 <head> and 2 <title>.:eek:

    thanks for the quick response, but I'm not sure I understand.
    Let me see if I get this right.
    in my pages folder there is only one <title> tag but when I look at the source there is two?

    Make page with one title tag and upload it on the server.
    And then it can't be with 2 title tags.

    :D

    I guess what the problem is the includes has a <head> and than the page that it grabs has a <head> and when I look at the source that is the problem.

    From what I understand is I should be putting seperate meta tags on each individual page, but how do I get the code for the includes page to grab that info?

    If you're using a PHP site, you need to give us more details in order to know what you want. You must tell us, the includes there're, templates system...
