Yes
right i have just finished building my website but i have 2 questions
it was built in dreamweaver as my preffered program editplus doesnt work on a mac so first question
i want the title to be CP-Photographic.co.uk but i cant find where to put it so it shows up, i've tried everything.

Second question - the address bar at the top i dont want it to say what page its on. eg this: http://www.cp-photographic.co.uk/ rather than this http://www.cp-photographic.co.uk/UntitledFrameset-4.html when you click on a page! Quick help needed please as i dont want it live for too long with little bugs like that!

Peace!

Sorry, beyond me all this technical stuff.
 
in the top of dreamweaver, there is a box you can type the title information in for the page
 
failing that insert this between the HEAD tags at the top of the page

<title>what ever title you want</title>
 
Ok - so to confirm you are trying to hide the URL in the address bar and not the Title of the page.

(FYI: You currently have your title of each page set to Utitled Document, using the <title> tag)

Have you tried using a frame or iframe? If you google "html hide url" you should be able to find some suggested methods of achieving this.

Hope this helps
 
it looks like you have your site set up in a frameset; that means that when you click something in your left-hand menu the required file is served and appears in the big frame. That happens without changing the name of the existing frameset, so the url showing in the browser will not change.

as far as titles go, in dw, you should see the page title at the top of the page, in a textbox, you type the title you want in there.

If that is troublesome, switch to code view, then look down the code until you see the title tag, it will look like this . . .
HTML: 
<title>this is the text you will see as title in browser</title>
change it to whatever you want your title to be, save it and upload.

Page titles are very important to search engines, so it's best to make them descriptive, like sports images, accommodation in London, how to win friends and influence people

it helps people find your pages.
 
Hi

You have a range of issues way beyond title tags: Images on front page:

600px × 800px (scaled to 229px × 304px)
800px × 200px (scaled to 580px × 100px)

These both dont look sharp, becausethey are being resized in the browser, not sized perfectly and sharpened accordingly

Second - Dont ever use a frameset - they are a nightmare - example - from a seach engine you will get this: http://www.cp-photographic.co.uk/UntitledFrame-3.html - even better - folow a link on that page and see what happens

Third - despite there being no SEO at all on the site, the frameset scuppers all your efforts

Agree with Richard in that frameset are bad and are really frowned on these days, and you should really think about not having a frameset as it really screws the search engines.

If you really want to keep a the frameset

1) Added the title tag to the head section in - UntitledFrameset-4.html - as this is the frameset.

2) I would also suggest renaming this file to index.html.

3) Put the following code from this site into the head of every page. This will ensure that if someone or a search engine navigates to your page that is will open up the frameset.

Agree with Richard also. I started out using framsets but changed quickly once I discovered the flaws with it.
