Add a Title

The title of your web page is the name that appears in the colored bar at the very top edge of your browser window.

For example, the title of this page is Mozilla Composer: Add a Title and an Address Footer.

Note that the title is different from the filename (The filename of this page is basics4.html)

The title may or may not be the same as the headline at the top of the page. (The headline on this page is Mozilla Composer: Basics: Add a Title and an Address Footer.)

Make your title descriptive. The title is also the phrase that appears in an end user's Bookmarks or Favorites list.

To add a title to a page in Mozila Composer, choose Format, Page Title and Properties from the main menu bar.

The Page Properties dialog box will appear.

If you don't set the page title before you save the page, the Page Title dialog box appears.

Enter a title, click on OK, and you will be sent to the Save dialog box to save your file.
Add an Address Footer
A standard feature of every well-designed web page is the address footer.  The address has two required elements:
  • the date of last revision of the page
  • an email link to the person responsible for the page

The address might also contain:

  • copyright information
  • further contact information such as a telephone or fax number or a mailing address

Here is an example of one of my footers:
