WWWE LogoTopic:

<TITLE> ... </TITLE> Document title

Definition:

Encloses the title for an HTML document, which usually appears in the title bar in the browser's window on the user's computer screen. Every HTML document must contain a title to conform to HTML standards.

Attributes:

None.

Context:

<TITLE> ... </TITLE> is legal only with <HEAD> ... <HEAD>.

No markup can be used within <TITLE> ... </TITLE> since it does not normally display within an HTML document, but rather on the title bar of the window in which the document appears.

Suggested style/usage:

We strongly recommend that you define a useful title for each and every HTML document you write. Because many Webcrawlers and other automated search tools use titles to help locate information for users, an accurate, descriptive title of the a page's contents will help them find your content.

Example:

<TITLE>My Perfect Homepage</TITLE>
