Title bar
The title bar is the top bar of the window of the browser. It’s the same bar where the ‘x’ is located to close a window. The text inside the title bar is also used by users who add the page to their Favorites/Bookmarks and by searchengines for the link in their search results.
For each page the text for the title bar can be entered. This is optional. By default the heading of menu name is used automatically when there is no text for the title bar.
