I am an asp.net developer working on a sitecore based site, our sitecore expert

I am an asp.net developer working on a sitecore based site, our sitecore expert is on holiday at the moment and sitecore seems to be doing something that I don’t understand.

I need to dynamically add meta tags to the page header so I added runat=”server to the head tag as below

<head runat="server">

This works and allows me to do what I need to do, however there is a strange side effect, it adds an empty <title></title> tag to the header and I can’t work out how and why this is happening. We currently have a site wide static title so we end up 2 title tags which is annoying. However we intend to start setting the page title dynamically soon so guess I want to know 2 things?

Why/how is is this happening?

Is it something that can easily be hooked into to set the page title dynamically based on the value of a sitecore field?

    From what I know it’s a known asp.net issue (feature?).
    You can add a hidden title tag runat server to the head, to avoid creating additional empty title tag, e.g.:

    <title visible="false" runat="server"><%-- I'm necessary here, do not remove me --%></title>
