Is there a way, using jQuery, to change the document.title after the page has loaded?

Question

I have coded myself into a corner. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks!

Answer 1

This will work also:

$('title').text("Boo");

Answer 2

document.title = 'new value';

Is this not working for you?

Answer 3

Try:

$(document).ready(function() {
    this.title = 'foo'
})

Answer 4

Maybe this will help you:

$(document).attr('title', 'new title');

Answer 5

$('title').text("Boo"); is not good idea because IE8 has problem with that.
this bug is reported Here but jQuery developers did not solve that and their solution is Use document.title='Boo';.

my idea is that

1. using document.title is best option and it is cross browser solution
2. but if you are used to use jQuery you can use $(document).attr('title', 'new title');. i tested it and has no problem with major browsers and IE8
