$PAGETITLE??

10 years ago
What's the proper script attribute for the page title? I've tried $TITLE and $PAGETITLE in a global page script, is there no way to incorporate a specific title for every page? Am I just blind and stupid? Is it something stupidly obvious like capital letters or am I using a completely wrong script?

I assumed that it would work like adding a global script to page text. ($PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "Text or Code") except I replaced $PAGETEXT with $PAGETITLE, $TITLE, $HEAD, and some other things but none of them seem to work :(

Heh. There's only $PAGETEXT. There's no such thing as the other things you mentioned. Hence why it didn't work.

Well damn. I suppose there's some more tedious ways to change the title with JS but man...I really didn't want to take the time to do that xD

Why do you need to be able to dynamically change the title anyway?

Global script a default page background instead of the pure white.

Why not use the pagetext for that?

Doesn't work. If it worked I wouldn't have this question -.-

Yes it does.

There's kind of an entire article on how to do it:

I'm well aware, it doesn't work. It used to work - it doesn't anymore. I don't know why, but it doesn't. Even if I put the code on the page with the text manually, it doesn't change the page background unless the code is in the title.

Well...There's this little problem with inserting pictures, and whatnots ever since a few months back. Perhaps that's messing with the background codes or whatever.

Well that sucks.

Stupid new editor. Alex really needs to change it back already.

Putting it into the title doesn't seem to work, but I just tried putting $PAGETEXT := "< body background='URL' >" + $PAGETEXT into the Global Page Script and it seems to be working.

LOL, sure, let's go with that. It totally wasn't me not paying attention to what I was typing on my phone.

Hm, what about this?

Ok, I'm a little teeny tiny bit impressed that worked... to be honest, I probably should have thought of that...

Great! Dunno why that one worked while the previous one didn't though. We could do a whole lot more if we could edit the headers, but I don't think the advanced editor allows that.
