So if I'm viewing a comment, e.g. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13273 , the title could be "ralph's comment #13273 on Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator". Just sticking to the thread's title isn't sufficient since I'll still end up with many Back menu items the same as I traverse the "parent" links. Each different page should ideally have a distinct title.
Damn fast feedback, excellent work.
Is there a reason for this? I just thought it was good practice, but I'm still just starting out in web design.
Perhaps the problem is due to the code starting to emit HTML very early on, before it knows what the title should be, in order to start providing data to the browser. As opposed to building all the HTML for the page before sending a byte.
