[AccessD] OT: CSS - External .css

Jim,

I'll explain the problem a little further.  On each of our departmental
intranet pages we are required to utilize a divisional header using server
side includes (.stm).  A departmental title can be placed within this
divisional header using the syntax - 
<TITLE>Submarine Engineering Electrical Design:E13 Home</TITLE>.  The whole
thing will show up in the title bar, but only the text before the colon will
show up in the divisional banner.  The problem is that the PHB insists on
the full departmental title, yet also insists that the page be legible at
800x600 with no horizontal scrolling.  Both requirements are impossible to
meet without shrinking the text size down.  Although I had never done it
before, I found that this syntax - 
<TITLE><H3>Submarine Engineering Electrical Design:E13 Home</H3></TITLE> 
satisfies both requirements for the PHB, but unfortunately makes me feel
like an idiot because the title bar now shows "<H3>Submarine Engineering
Electrical Design:E13 Home</H3>".

;)Woe is me :(  

Mark

Doesn't the title tag hold the value that's diplayed in the title bar of the
browser?  How can you add formatting to that?  Or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

>IIRC, the later versions of HTML allow the <TITLE> tag to have a

property.  If you go to W3C's website you should be able to find the full
definition of current HTML tag properties.

No information here pertaining to your recollections.


My current solution is an obvious hack, I was just hoping someone was aware
of a more elegant hack.

Mark,

Are you saying that <H3><TITLE>...</TITLE></H3> didn't work?  IIRC, the
later versions of HTML allow the <TITLE> tag to have a FontSize property. If
you go to W3C's website you should be able to find the full definition of
current HTML tag properties.

Group,

Is anyone aware of a method to change the default size of a <TITLE> tag? I
have a unique situation where I need to change a <TITLE> tag from its
default size to <H3> size (PHB strikes again).  Currently, the only way I've
been able to do this is by placing <H3> tags within the <TITLE> tag.
Although this approach does change the size as required, it unfortunately
prints the <H3></H3> tags literally in the title bar.  It seems that a CSS
approach would address this, but an external .css is not loaded until the
<HEAD> section...any ideas?

Any pointers, references would be greatly appreciated,


Mark
