FrontPage2002: Title Bar Titles, Meta Tag Titles & Site Map

F

Frank

I had Simple Page Titles (still do) on each page that were
created automatically when I dragged the page to the
Navigator view and edited the Page Icon. A side benefit
was a nice site map.
However...
When I changed the Meta Tag "Title" for each page to be a
bit more search engine friendly, my Page titles stayed the
same (Thank Goodness), but my site map changed to the new
Meta Tag titles which are not very neat for a site map.

Is there any way to correct this? i.e. Get the site map
to use the Page titles from the Title Bar and still have
the Meta Tags with a Longer Title & Keywords.

Thanks Frank

Sorry, but no.

Link Bars Based On Navigation View always use the page
names you assign in Navigation view.

A Table Of Contents For This Web Site component (which I
presume is your site map) always use page titles that
appear between the <title> and </title> tags in the
<head> section (which aren't strictly meta tags but I
think that's what you mean).

When you create a new page in Nav view, FrontPage makes
the Nav view name and the <title> name the same. But
subsequently, changing one doesn't affect the other.
