Layout of <title> and <meta> tags

[draneb]

When you view the source of the page this is how the title and meta tags are shown. What causes things to run together and why is the <title> tag broken up into separate lines with the actual wording pushed over to the right like there is a tab inserted in there or something? This is default able behavior and not due to any customizations I had done.

I edited my personal information out here but kept the layout the same as shown in View Source.

Code: Select all

<link href="App_Themes/Store/a_style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><link href="App_Themes/Store/directory.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><META name="description" content="This is where the page description is shown.">
<META name="keywords" content="this, is, where, the, keywords, are, displayed"><title>
	Home Page
</title><style type="text/css">

This is taken from an AC7 demo store

Code: Select all

<link href="App_Themes/Glass_Orange/ComponentArt.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><link href="App_Themes/Glass_Orange/print.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><link href="App_Themes/Glass_Orange/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><link href="App_Themes/Glass_Orange/webparts.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><title>
	AbleCommerce T-shirt
</title><style type="text/css">

Typically, this layout would seem to be more search engine friendly. It seems like a pretty simple fix, probably just putting some line breaks where needed, right?

Code: Select all

<link href="App_Themes/Store/a_style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="App_Themes/Store/directory.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<META name="description" content="This is where the page description is shown.">
<META name="keywords" content="this, is, where, the, keywords, are, displayed">
<title>Home Page</title>
<style type="text/css">

Mazhar, you AbleCommerce genius, would you be able to help those who this is bothering, like me?

Plus, the title should be before the keywords and descriptions. I've moved it in the pagehelper.cs, but it doesn't seem to change.

Yes, thank you Judy, the other AbleCommerce genius.

Hello,

Could anyone give some insight on how we could get the title and meta data to display properly?

Maybe we could go into the associated files and enter some vbCrLf's or something.
What file(s) would those be?

Thank you in advance!

If the code is in a .cs file, you could try /n which is vbcrlf in C#.

Also, http://www.web2market.com will be coming out with a meta tag manager similar to what they have for 5.5 Cold Fusion that will handle these problems.
