How do I stop "- Microsoft Internet Exlporer" in window title ?

Is there a way of stopping " - Microsoft Internet Explorer" being added to
the browser window title ?

eg, I want it to say:

My Website Name
and not
My Website Name - Microsoft Internet Explorer

I have added full stops (periods) but this looks messy:
eg, My Website
Name........... ............... ............... ............... ....

The only way is to change it on the user's computer by rewriting a file
somewhere. So drive around and stop off everywhere to fix that.

Seriously, it's not something you can control.

Of course it is.
Just add a 'few' &nbsp; to your preferred page <title> ;-)

Easy - use a different browser.

How many? It'll eat up a lot of code - and it'll still be there, if only
shoved off right.

Point is, why bother? If the user notices at all that the brand is gone,
they may suspect that you have tinkered with their settings and hate you
forever. That's bad for business. usually.

Very many :-)

Invisible if you shove far enough.

I didn't say it was a good thing to do, just that it is
possible. Anyway, I did put in a ;-) to make sure no one
would think I was too serious.

No. Nor should there be. Your users aren't counting on you to redesign their
software for them during the short period of time they happen to be looking
at your site.

Of course there is -- use a better browser.

Now, what was your question about HTML?
In other words, if you have questions about how to operate your
browser, you'll find a different newsgroup more appropriate.

Sure. Break in, go into the computer, and change the appropriate

Seriously, this is a browser feature, and beyond your control as Web author.

Hi. In my opinion the emails like "Have you had a chance to check out the suggestions in my last reply..." kind of pollute this newsgroup. It's like one day they would show up in hundreds and it's kind of annoying to go through them. Also in my opinion if the guy did not have a chance to check out the suggestions then it's his/her problem.
