Q262 How can I set the document title?

You are here: irt.org | FAQ | JavaScript | Document | Q262 [ previous next ]

The documents title property is read only. You can only set it once. However you can use JavaScript to set its initial value:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write('<title>This is *my* title<\/title>')
//--></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

In Internet Explorer 5.x (I haven't tried it in Internet Explorer 4.x yet) you can use:

document.title = "Your new title";

to place the date and time in the title bar, and even to create a real time clock in the title bar by updating the title every second.
