I am looking at the supro guitar site. I noticed that as I move in and out of the site the tile changes based on what I am looking at. I am sure this has been going on underneath my radar, but today I asked how does this happen.

Steven is absolutely right, but just to further expand on that here's an example of the code so you can visualise it a little better.
<html>
<head>
<title>Put your site title here</title>
</head>
</html>
Hope this helps, happy learning!

Courses Plus Student 14,965 PointsI understand, and have been aware. I did not ask the right question or take time to think about it. I really did not pay much attention that the index inherits the title from the head but the other pages within a site are labeled in the browser tab based on the file name. My question was a little off. However, I do appreciate the fast response.
