Two of my topics have a red background for the <TITLE> tag field in the Topic Options tab. What causes this and how do I fix it? It doesn't seem to affect the build--no Compiler Messages.
But I am sure that the red signifies something is wrong.

Re: Problem with Topic Options tab
Hi Debra,
This isn't a problem, just a warning that the length of the title tag text exceeds the recommended maximum for the title tag in web pages. There is no physical maximum, but the recommended length of title is somewhere between 65 to 70 characters including spaces, because more than this likely to be truncated in search results. So try to keep the title length to 65 characters including spaces for best possible rendering.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will shorten the title. Where are the recommended maximums documented?

Re: Problem with Topic Options tab
This has nothing to do with Help+Manual itself. It is a vaguely-defined HTML standard that most browsers adhere to, more or less. If you keep the length below 65 characters you should be fine.Debra Graham wrote:Thanks for the quick reply. Will shorten the title. Where are the recommended maximums documented?
