Hi all, I have created a template as detailed in the book. Originally In the template i had

<title>Welcome to Planet Wrox</title> as the page title.

I have since changed this in the master page to
<title>.....Replace this.....</title> again as the page title.

Now when i create a new page based on the template the "Welcome to Planet Wrox" text is always inserted as the page title instead of ".....Replace this....."

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why the new page title is not implemented.

Also how do you insert comments in the master page which will not be displayed in my browser. I have tried /* comments here */ but the comments are always displayed when i request a page in my browser.

Hope this makes sense
Mark

Hi Mark,

The page overrules the title set in the master. To have new pages take the title, you need to re-export the tempate and then base your pages on this new template.

You can use server side comments as explained here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi....NET-2.0-.aspx

Cheers,

Imar

Hi,

a related question to this so i figured i would post in reply to this.

i am working on a CMS basically, custom mini CMS for some of our websites. Now the titles of the page ofcourse would be changing dynamically depending on the page which loads. We have the url rewriting in place to rewrite the url and also changing the titles.

Now the question is the way we are doing it is that we have set a global title which is in the database and the master page gets that and sets it as the title of the master page and the individual page when it loads after the master page has loaded it gets the title if there is any in the database and sets that as the title of the page, if title does not exists it does not place the title so ideally the master page title would stay.

Is this the best approach? Or can we do something better?
