Hello

I am trying to prevent the <title> tag from rendering in an HtmlHead control.
How can I do this?

I have been trying to replace it with a web user control that I have created
which renders the title tag and takes advantage of caching features

My main problem is that the HtmlHead control renders the <title> tag even though
my web user control has already rendered the <title> tag

This doesn't cause any problems in the web browser but it doesn't validate as
xhtml transitional, I want to the page to render as valid xhtml transitional so
I have to make sure that there isn't a duplicate <title> in the <head>

What can I do?

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for posting.

As for the HtmlHead's title generation problem, are you using ASP.NET 1.1
or 2.0 for your application currently? If you're using ASP.NET 2.0 page, t
he HtmlHead property of the Page class will always render out the Title
element and so far what I've tried is setting the "Header" property's
Visible property to false which will make the entire <head> section not
rendered. If you can completely put your own control to render the head
section, this will be one possible approach.

Well, I've just tested and found that you can manually locate the "Title"
sub control in the Page.Header.Controls collection which is of HtmlTitle
type. Then, just set its Visible to false to prevent it from being rendered.

Hope this helps.
