I've just started my web site and I dont know how to give a title to my pages and popups. Dont tell me to check the "preferences" of the page. That doesnt always work.

Thanks, Italian guy

The html element you want is:
<title>Title goes here</title>

The <title> element must be within the <head> element in the HTML document. I suggest you check out HTMLHelp.com [htmlhelp.com] for useful information about all the HTML tags.

If you are using FrontPage, you can find the HTML source code by choosing "HTML View" or "Source View" from the tabs at the bottom of the page. You'll find that you can quickly gain a better understanding of HTML structure and syntax by comparing the source with what you write in the editor.

Because in DW, the page properties have a toolbar below the page you are editing, but you can not change the "title" from there. You either have to change it in the permanent little window at the top that says "Title:" and then "return" and save the page. Or use the modify/page properties from the top menus, or Ctrl+J blah blah. You can not always do it by right clicking over the page as it may be covered by tables etc. HTH

Best way though: is to split your view to "Code" and "design" and change the title between the <title>*</title> tags. If your not used to code, try working with these view often, it will subliminally teach you HTML
ps. don't forget to "save" your page after changing it's title.

Are you using a domain name that uses masked forwarding (url cloaking) to a website hosted somewhere else. If that's the case (which it sounds like), then you are using hidden frames. This is something you will need to contact your domain registrant about.

It's exactly as you say. Thanks for the advice.
