2 Questions. Page Titles+Google Toolbar - 7/19/2005 9:56:58
Hey everyone! I have a couple more questions to burden you with :)
1. What are page titles exactly? Any tips on giving good titles to each page? Does it have to do with finding the site on the internet? Where can you see the title in the browser?
2. Is there any way to control Google Toolbar on OTHER computers? I don't want my forms to be yellow on other computers.
Thank you VERY MUCH to anyone that replies.

Thank you both for your quick and helpful replies.
Regarding the titles again. Frontpage offers the option of giving titles to files on the page such as pictures and buttons. What is the reasoning for that? Is there a point at all in giving these files titles?
What about if my website is in frames? So technically I only have one title visible throughout the whole site?

The titles attribute used on images etc. is an entirely separate thing. Used on images and buttons (which are usually image files), the title attribute works alongside the alt tag (you can also have a title attribute on other html elements though, such as hyperlinks and form elements.) They’re basically used to give more information to the user and can be useful for increasing accessibility. The Alt and/or Title will display on mouseover in IE 5.5 and up, depending on the type of link, but Alt doesn’t display in NS 6/7.
The title attribute is useful aid for both accessibility and for providing more information for the user. If you use a title attribute with links for example, when they hover over the link they see the extra text that tells them more about where the link goes to for example.
Whether it’s the alt or title attribute that’s displayed as a tooltip depends on the browser, so to cover your bases with all the different browsers out there, if you want a description to appear when someone mouses over a linked image, put in both the title and alt attribute.
Regarding frames, you do still need a title for each frame, mainly to help screen reader users navigate your site, though frames aren't always a good idea accessibility wise.
