I have a simple page inside a master page (well, in a master in a master).

In the top master I have the head tag with runat="server", with a number of bits such as scripts, stylesheets, etc. and also a contentplaceholder. There is no title tag here.

In the page that uses this master, the content for the placeholder contains the
<title>pagename</title> bit in it. I really have to set it in there.

Unfortunately when the page is rendered I get my title which is all good, but also get a second blank title tag – I presume dumped in there by .NET.

Is there any way of stopping this second title tag coming out?

    From memory, by virtue of putting the runat=”server” on the <head> .Net automagically adds a <title> if there isn’t one already.

    I think (haven’t tested it) is if in your masterpage you do

    <head runat="server">
Blah
<title runat="server" visible="false"></title>
</head>

    setting the Title tag explicitly in the Head of the masterpage and setting visibility to false works. I think.
