SharePoint Column Value on Page
Is there a way to take a value from a given list within a site and have that value displayed on a page without haveing to display the column names or list. I have a list that defines a project and that list has a title of the project in it. I want to take that title and have it displayed on the top of the page. I figure this is simple but not finding it.
it's not so simple ;)
by "top of the page", do you mean the browser bar? or a section of the actual page near the top?
if you mean a section of the page near the top, then you can do this using Sharepoint Designer.
bring up the page in Designer. put Designer in split code/page view so you can see elements on the page and the code at the same time. click on the field in the design/page view and it should hop to that section in the code. that will show you how to reference the field in the top section of your page.
if you want it in the browser title bar, that's a whole 'nother ball of wax...

I have a site that contains a list that contains a field ("Title") in it.
I also have a home.aspx page that users go to when they first open the site. What I want is to take the value from the above list and display it as a header on the home.aspx page.
I am not worried about quering the list as it should only have 1 value in it anyway. Also, not worried about the browser title.

displaying that value in the "out of the box" title is going to take coding that is beyond my level of expertise. i'm sure it can be done. but not easily.
however, you can likely mimic or get close to the "out of the box" title using other tools. for these methods, you would modify the code on your main page to add something that looks like the title bar, with the lookup value you want.
here are some methods you could use:

Sorry for the huge code snippet windows, I have no idea why that happened (looks like too long lines of code are the culprits).

could you please explain your request with more detail? By what criteria should a project be chosen from project list in order to display the title? What data in a page can be used to query the project list?
