Giving Your Page a Title

Every HTML document you create needs to have a title. The title is used primarily for document identification. It is displayed in a browser's title bar, indicates the content of a page, and appears as the bookmark name in Favorites lists. You should choose a short informative phrase, beginning with the site name, which is descriptive of the document's purpose. Get into the habit of adding a title to each page you create before you add text or graphics to the page. If you forget, Dreamweaver titles the file Untitled Document by default.

To give a title to your page, click the tab for the yoga.html document and type Yoga Sangha Project into the Title text field on the document toolbar. Press Return (Macintosh) or Enter (Windows), or click in the yoga.html document.

Tip

If you don't see the document toolbar with the Title text field, choose View > Toolbars > Document.

The Title text field initially displays Untitled Documentyou are now replacing that placeholder title with a title for a page in the project site.

Note

You can also specify the title of your document in the Title text field located in the Title/Encoding category of the Page Properties dialog box. To access the Page Properties dialog box, choose Modify > Page Properties.
