Is the "Title" supposed to show up anywhere besides my code?

<In what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.>
In this exercise a title is auto-populated as “Table Time”… but this title doesn’t visually appear anywhere on my page. I’m guessing its not meant to, but if that is correct, then please help me understand the point of a “title”. Does it have significance elsewhere?

I think the answer must be something obvious, but I’m missing the point.



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Table Time</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<h1 style="font-family:Arial">Tables Are Mega Sweet</h1>
		<p>

Thank you. That helps. While I was waiting, I found this explanation also very helpful on: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_title.asp

"The title tag is required in all HTML documents and it defines the title of the document.

* defines a title in the browser toolbar
* provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites
* displays a title for the page in search-engine results

Note: You can NOT have more than one title element in an HTML document.
Tip: If you omit the title tag, the document will not validate as HTML."
