  • I've read all the "no title" threads...but

    Please help. I see my question but not an answer for "no title" showing up on my pages that I'm working to get validated at the w3.org site.

    First of all, never had a problem all these years with it regardless of doctype. Yes, the <title>tags are in place in the <head> tags.

    Also, instead of my discription i'm getting the first text on the page displayed instead, including the text of my drop down menus.

    I am indexing offline and only htm and html pages. The ones before validation are indexed just fine, the others are indexed but do not display title and description, however the link to the page is good.

    When I look at the code in WinMerge, I see no difference from the file before validation except the DOCTYPE and the javascript title rewritten from language=JavaScript to the acceptable type="text/javascript" and of course, the html validation link at the bottom of the page.

    I've read here about stop-zoom tags but have never used anything like that in my pages ever.

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    
    vs
    
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    
    and
    
    <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img
            src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401"
            alt="Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional" height="31" width="88" border="0"></a>

    trying some things

    ok..so i replaced the doctype back to the type that does not validate for my pages, and the zoom displays things fine.

    Why does it not like the doctype? Is there a work around? I hate to have to redo all those hundreds of pages!

      Changing the DOC type as you have done should have no effect on the <titile> tag. So I would suspect there is something else different.

      But we no longer support the old V4 release of the software. (You have posted in the V4 forum, so I assume you are using V4). If you can replicate the problem in V6 of Zoom we'll investigate it. In this case can you also post a like to the HTML file in question.

        found it...

        Thank you for the quick reply...you are right....

        I was so sure it was doctype but my cutting and pasting from a working doc to the non-working one together with testing against what was apparently our servers cache, included a missed space in my re-written javascript line:

        Code:
        </SCRIPT >
        Just that space, that was it.

        Thank you for this tool.
