Web page Title Does NOT Display

webpage title doesn't display in browsers

Within the past month, I have noticed that the web page titles are not displaying in either IE or Mozilla-Firefox. Only the URLs are displaying.

In checking the metadata, a title and display name is completed for each webpage. I use Cascade for my CMS.

I had added Google Analytics into the header but removed it today hoping that would remedy the situation. Afterwards I republished a webpage or two to see if it would change anything. Still just URLs displaying in the browser instead of the title.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?

Thanks.

First check your code.

What actually appears in the <title> tag (if there is one?)

Look in the source code after loading a page in your browser. If the problem is not immediately obvious, then cut and paste the source code into an HTML validator tool. Most likely the TITLE tag is not being positioned correctly.

welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], cwatan!

you can use the w3c validator [validator.w3.org].

even better, i would suggest installing the Web Developer and HTML Tidy plugins
for firefox.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It seems I must have deleted the title tag when I first put in the script for GoogleAnalytics.

Take care.
