Hi Taco, While there is nothing in the HTML spec to limit the length of a title or description, you should keep this in mind: "The title should ideally be less than 64 characters in length. That is, many applications will display document titles in window titles, menus, etc where there is only limited room. Whilst there is no limit on the length of a title (as it may be automatically generated from other data), information providers are warned that it may be truncated if long." (http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/TITLE.html)
eg. Titles in Google results are truncated to the first 66 characters, and Internet Explorer truncates the text shown in the title bar to 96 characters. I'd recommend allowing for a largish (say 128 characters) title, but warning the user if it goes above 64. On 6/20/06, Taco Fleur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, not sure whether this it OT or not? Trying to figure out the maximum length allowed for the <title> tag and description meta tag. I've looked at www.w3.org just can't seem to find my way around it.
