Dynamic Titles and Meta Descriptions

W

weismana81

I am trying to create dynamic title and meta tag descriptions for my pages
that are called from a database. I'm really not sure how to go about this.
But I took a stab at it with this. Shot in the dark.

<title>Tutorials:<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"tutorialID")%></title>

Of course this did not work. Any suggestions? I guess I'll need to open my
db connection and all that. If someone could point me in the right
direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks...

you'd have to connect to the db and get that data before any other code in
the source of your page.

Thanks! That did the job!!!
Would you by chance have any advice on creating the description tag. I
don't suppose it would look something like this?:

<% strDescription = Request("body1")%>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="<%=strDescription%>">
</head>

P.S. Employee... Tutorial... Whatever:)

Thanks again.

Yes if body1 is the db field w/ the info and you have opened the DB connection to that table before you create the string

<%
strTitle = Request("tutorialID")
strDescription = Request("body1")
%>
<head>
<title>Tutorial: <%=strTitle%></title>

<meta name="description" content="<%=strDescription%>">
</head>
