changing popup window title

I created a window using

var win = window.open(URL, name, features) ;

tried to do
win.document.title = 'new title' ;


got javascript 'Unspecified error'

How am I suppose to change the title in javascript???

It should work, what "features" have you specified?

Possible fault is that you try and set the title before the document has loaded. Note I have never really tampered with popups so is just a guess.

That feature does not work in any of the Mozilla browsers. You can only reference the document.title.

Give this a shot:
try {
// should work w/ IE
win.document.title = 'new title';
} catch (err) {
try {
// should work with Gecko
win.defaultView.documentElement.title = 'new title';
} catch (err2) {
alert('I cannot set the title.');
}
}

Sorry, forgot to close the tag.

unfortunately, I'm running currently on IE6. I'll try to delay the win.document.title and see if that works.

Okay, if that won't work period, try this.


win = window.open(...);
win.setTitle = setTitle;
win.onload = function () {
document.title = 'new title';
}


Maybe that'll work?
