Name in top blue box

Hi all

When surfing the net the name of the web site appears in the top blue box on the screen (far left). How is that named and can it be changed ?

thanks

Re: Name in top blue box

It's a line of code you can add to your web page coding to put the website name into the internet explorer/ firefox browser title ;) Someone here will tell you what to put where no doubt if I don't return quickly enough lol. It's not hard to do though :)
I think you just need to use the <title> title info here </title> tags inbetween your <head> </head> tags in the html. Should be at the beginning of your html coding for that page

At the top of your HTML you need to put the following line, between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags.

<TITLE>The title of my page</TITLE>

I share your pain ;) I've just gone to post in another thread and managed to close the wrong firefox tab 3 times :erm: Time for a shower and a walk in the fresh air I think :p:
