If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. I am new and learning about Drupal as quickly as I can.
Our front page is showing the content title as the browser title. In the administration pages control panel, every one of our pages, in edit view, shows a text box that enables us to assign different content than the page content title for the browser title--except for some reason that I have spent all day trying to figure out, the front page doesn't have an alternate text box for the browser title.
I have found a post in the forum ( http://drupal.org/node/645318 ), which discusses modules designed for this purpose and I have searched to find out if we have a module installed or not, but I can't find anything. It seems we would have some kind of module installed if we are getting the alternate text box for the browser title for all the other pages. How can we rectify this problem? Is there a way to get directly into the front page to manually name the browser page title?
Again, any help you can extend would be wonderful.
Thank you,
Robert

Can anyone help with this?
I haven't received any replies to my question yet, and I was wondering, do I need to supply any additional information?
Modules
Do you see Page Title, perhaps, on your module listing? Do you see a Modules menu in your black admin menu bar?
Page Title and Modules Menu
Thank you for trying to help me.
On the black menu bar, under site building, modules, there is no page title in the list.
There is no separate modules menu on the modules bar.
Under content management, create content, page, a browser title field is available.
Under content management, content types, fields, browser title appears as: Field Name: field_browser_title, Field Type: text, Used In: page.
I noticed under this fields list that field_browser_title is not repeated for Used In: front page. Do I need to add this field separately for the front page? How can I add this field to the front page?
Field name Field type Used in
field_admin_title Text Bucket
field_browser_title Text Page
field_buckets Node reference Page
field_contact_form_text Text Global
field_contact_form_title Text Global
field_contact_form_to Text Global
field_contact_person Text Right Form
field_content_bottom_1 Node reference Frontpage, Page
field_content_bottom_2 Node reference Frontpage, Page
field_date Date News or Press
field_footer_top_content Node reference Frontpage, Page
field_form_logo File Right Form
field_frontpage_buckets Node reference Frontpage
field_global_latest_news Node reference Global
field_header_contact Text Global
field_header_phone Text Global
field_link Text Bucket
field_link_text Text Bucket
field_links Link Resources
field_logo File Global
field_news_or_press Integer News or Press
field_resources Node reference Page
field_rf_text1 Text Global, Right Form
field_rf_text2 Text Global, Right Form
field_rf_text3 Text Global, Right Form
field_rf_text4 Text Global, Right Form
field_rf_text_5 Text Global, Right Form
field_right_form Node reference Frontpage, Page
field_top_image File Frontpage, Page
I hope this is helpful in solving this mystery...

I'm just throwing this out
I'm just throwing this out there, but you may want to consider adding a page-front.tpl.php to your theme and just manually type in the page title you require. This is not an elegant solution and definitely not the "Drupalish" way to do things, but I don't know how your site was developed and if the developers followed best practices.

I figured it out :-)
Turns out I was able to add the browser title field to the front page by going to Content Management, Content Types, Edit Front Page, Manage Fields. From there, I was able to add the browser title field to the front page from the drop down of "available fields."
Thank you all so much for trying to help me with this. The information you gave me provided enough insight to figure it out.
Drupal 6?
I think part of the confusion, at least about menus, is because either you are running Drupal 6 with the Admin Menu module (not Drupal 7, as you had indicated), or your default admin menu in Drupal 7 is turned off and replaced with the Admin Menu contrib module. And the fact that you have a "browser title field" available as a field type is a clear indication that you've got a contrib or custom module that's providing that.
You are correct! We are running Drupal 6.
Thank you again. My mistake about the version. We are running Drupal 6. I'll be sure to post correctly in the future.
