title tag between head tags?

Post by potato »

hi everybody,

i just want to know if its important that the <title> tag is in the <head> section of your page.
I know that the title shows in the browser in the 2 cases, but can it give any problems?
And for the searchengines, is it no problem?

greetings,
tom

Yes it must be in the <head>.

Search engines could ignore your title if it's not in the correct place. They may also mis-interpret your content if the markup does not conform to the required standards since you make it harder to parse.
