    Title editing??


    Hi all,

    I wish to display the title on the web page so
    the first letter of each word is bold.
    E.g.
    <title><b>T</b>itle <b>E</b>xample</title>

    But in doing this internet explorer show the value
    "<b>T</b>itle <b>E</b>xample" in the top title.

    Can i display a different value in the window title text
    to the page title.

    I am using a background.ascx file to display the title of
    each page on each page.

    E.g.
    <table align=center>
    <tr>
    <td align=center>
    <span style="font-size: 250%">&nbsp;<script language=JavaScript>
    document.write top.document.title);
    </script>&nbsp;</span>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    Can anyboby help?

    Thanks,
    Tom.

    I think you would have to parse the title in your script and add the =
    bold tags there.

    That's not allowed in the title tag. From the spec for html 4:

    "Titles may contain character entities (for accented characters, special
    characters, etc.), but may not contain other markup (including comments)."
