Html codes show at top of page

Hi,
In HyperPublish:
I did:
insert>html>at page start>script/meta
Then I pasted:
META
NAME="title" CONTENT="index.htm">
and now, I can see: META
NAME="title" CONTENT="index.htm">
at the top of the page.
What should I do ?
Seb

the code you wrote is incorrect, so it shown as text by the browser.
the correct (correct for the HTML syntax) code is
<META
NAME="title" CONTENT="index.htm">
(you forgot the trailing < )
By the way this code (this way) is not useful and actually it is dangerous, as you are telling to the search engines that your page title is "index.htm" (instead of a descriptive text; the title should be a descriptive text)
This tag is normally already generated (correctly) by HyperPublish, that generates something like
<META
NAME="title" CONTENT="The title that you visually assigned to your page">
where "The title that you visually assigned to your page" is the title you put with Format >Page properties (the box at the top left).
Example for www.hyperpublish.com the title is "Create a CD catalogue, a Web site, a manual on Web or make autoinstall CD..."
In other words, HyperPublish already does all common search engine optimizations. There are a lot of websites that tell you what to do, but as we already know (we are here not from yesterday), we incorporated all these stuff automatically in HyperPublish. Of course a duplicate won't usually make damage. But try to not add wrong stuff!

Talking about optimization: what's HP's position towards XHTML ?
Thanks.

XHTML comes from XML + HTML.
A nice world such as "Web 2.0", good for TV shows and news....
But at present we don't know any practical effect... of course we are open to any suggestion...
