    Title element not displaying

    Hello,

    Call me crazy but I can't figure out why my TITLE text will not
    display in the title bar of my browser window.

    Here are the contents of my html file:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>My first HTML document</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <P>Hello world!
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    I'm posting the page on a Tomcat web server, version 4.1.27, if that
    is relevant.

    Cheers,

    Dawn

      The HTML (which I snipped) looks right. What is the URL of the page?

          What if you just open the file in your browser (without the server)?

          It surely shows the title in IE 6/Mozilla 1.4/Opera 7.11 with or
          without IIS as a server. Maybe the server is configured to
          automaticly replace the title?

              Thank you for the suggestion, Joris. I opened the page up in my
              browser, without the server, and the title displayed just fine, which
              indicated that the culprit must be my webserver or it's configuration.
              I did some digging and it turns out that, because I'm using
              web-forwarding to put my webserver on the Internet, and the
              web-forwarding service displays my page in an *invisible* frame, the
              title is not showing up. Doh! Oh, the trials and tribulations of
              hosting a web server from home when my ISP blocks port 80.

              Cheers,

              Dawn

                  I have used web-forwarding before and there is usually an option to
                  include a title. Of course, it won't change as the pages change, but
                  you could set it to something generic that still identifies your site.
                  ie Dawn's Web Site....

                      Or, just lose the web forwarding and go to a real ISP. The cost is
                      minimal for anyone who can afford to have a computer and a dial-up
                      connection in the first place.
