That is done using the <title> HTML tag. An example of this would be:

<head>
<title>This is the title of my page!</title>
</head>

That goes at the very top of your page underneath the opening HTML tag.
Hope this helps.

Also note that if you have any <meta> tags on the page, that needs to go after them.

You mean I've been doing it wrong all these years?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Highlight Images w/Captions</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-c . . .

It passes validation.

That meta tag still goes after the title.

It passes validation.Really? I didn't think it would, especially that example. How does it know what charset to use for the title?

We would need to know more about the inner workings of the target browser to figure it out...
It would make sense if the meta tags were interpreted first, aswell as any header info sent by the server.
