Ok, first off, if you have absolutely no knowledge of HTML code (website code) you should probably leave now as you will not know what I am talking about here at all. If you do know what HTML code is, then maybe you can answer this for me. So, I have been wondering something lately. How is it that the title of the Bungie homepage is never what it says in the page code? Actually, the titles that it switches through aren't even in the code at all. So if someone could please tell me how this is possible exactly, that would be appreciated.

It's likely controlled by one of those linked javascript files or a CSS sheet with a 403'd text file with with the lines in it.

edit: I found it fine, it's right at the top in the tags it's supposed to be. (I went in when it said "We Finding Ling-Lings Head."

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

When we make a call to the homepage, the computer "randomizes" the "<code>," and then gives it to us. Or something. I'll let someone with moar experience explain:

I am afraid that I don't understand the question.

This is occasionally true, but most of the time, (at least for me anyways) what is in the title tag is different.

The title seems to match the contents of the tag for me. Maybe it's your browser loading a cached title or something..? I dunno. If you do a Ctrl+F5 refresh, does the title match what's in the code?

Not at all, that's just our beloved webmaster!

It picks the title out of an array.
