ASP.NET MVC ContentPlaceHolder overriding hard-coded content

asp.net-mvc, contentplaceholder

Solution

Phil Haack has an explanation of this issue (and a work-around) at http://haacked.com/archive/2009/04/03/tipjar-title-tags-and-master-pages.aspx . The work-around is that you use an asp:LiteralControl for the static part of your page title.

Problem

This is what I have in the aspx page: ``` <head runat="server"> <title>Website - <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="HeadContent" runat="server" /></title> </head> ``` This is what's in the view: ``` <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" runat="server"> Homepage </asp:Content> ``` For some reason, this HTML is generated: ``` <title>Homepage</title> ``` The 'Website - ' part is getting removed. Anybody know how I can fix this?
