HTML Title/Meta Attributes, ID tags, and code bloat

[Max Metral]

Hi. I want to do two simple things. First, have a title attribute that can
be set from code. Second, to have the content attribute of a meta tag also
modified from code. In summary, the trick is that I do NOT want ASP.Net
putting it's bloated ID attributes in the tags because my pages will be
bigger and every byte counts.

So if I do:

<title runat="server" id="foo">Some Default Title</title>

the output ID sticks around and gets expanded to something much longer based
on class name, etc, which I don't want.

Annoying, but not the end of the world, I can just do:

<title><asp:literal runat="server" id="foo">Some Default
Title</asp:literal></title>

However, now I'm not sure how to handle the meta tag like this, since I
can't do

<meta content="<asp:literal...etc

Thoughts?

Thanks!

for the title, the easiest is to do this from the aspx vb file.

Dim mytitle as string = "Setting the title tag"
page.registerstartupscript("settitle","<script> document.title='"& mytitle &
"';">");

this would set the title of your document.

for the Meta tag, I don't know what meta tag you want to add, but you can
add from the aspx vb file too by using:

response.addheader("","")
