Setting Superscripts in the Page Title

Hi,

I'm trying to dynamically set the page title in my Page_Load procedure using the following line of code:

Page.Header.Title = "O² Design Center"

This should render to O^2 Design Center (The 2 should be superscripted). I noticed that when the page loads the first time, it successfully shows the 2 being superscripted, but when when the page refreshes, I get "O² Design Center" without the 2 being superscripted (i.e. You can see the ampersand, hash, 1, 7, 8, and the semicolon)

Any idea why after a page refresh, the 2 doesn't stay superscripted?

Its wierd. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

In your HTML code, just use this format, this should take care of it.

O²

O&#178;
 
I am typing the same, if this experts-exchange HTMl rendering makes it into Super Script.
 
O & #178;
 
remove the space in between & and #

isn't that the same that the OP just showed? And I saw something about "dynamically" setting the page title.

Just tried it. It shows like the screenshot, even after a page refresh.

I tried it now with

Page.Header.Title = "O² Design Center"

as well and checked it after refresh... For me at least it shows normal. Regardless a page refresh or a postback. Tested on IE7 and FF3. What versions of VS/IE/FF do you use?

Try it with IE6. It doesn't work.

with your original code, I reckon... That's an old IE6 problem. Can you try the literal method? Does that work for you?

Try this

Page.Header.Title = "O" & chr(178) & " Design Center"
