Title tag as control

[Chris Becker]

Why is InnerText set to the correct value here:

<title id="tagTitle" runat="server">Divisions</title>

But not here:

<title id="tagTitle" runat="server">Divisions -
<%=Settings.GetLeagueName()%></title>

Why does the <%%> make the InnerText property of the tagTitle control be
blank?

[Chris Becker]

Thanks. I guess I am just looking for more insight as to why the code block
<%%> breaks the functionality that I am looking for and why a databinding
block does not <%#%>. Once I know more, I can move forward with the
necessary changes with confidence.

I don't know, but to set the Title dynamically, you could put a client
script block in the body of the page-

<script language=javascript>
document.title='Divisions-<%=Settings.GetLeagueName() %>';
</script>

You could also put a Literal Control between your open and closing Title
Tags - - then, in the page load event, call the method that gets your
information and assign it to the text property of the Literal Control
