Title of Anotherpage.html

when you create anotherpage.html, the title tag still says "my page" but the title appears as anotherpage. You are also able to successfully link using the id another_page even though this value is not saved in the title tag. How is this possible?

Hi Jack,

The 'title' is used to label the browser tab and in as a reference for bookmarks, not for navigation. The initial 'tab' you may be referring to is actually in the editor and is the 'filename' not 'title'. When he views in the browser you can see the 'title' for both pages is still 'My Page' because he didn't change the title for another_page.

When you create a link to a page, you link to the actual filename, not the 'title'.
