• How to dynamically change a web page's title? 19 answers

I want to change the title showing in a page based on information I pick up from within the page (eg to show the number of inbox messages)

document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].innerHTML="foo"; does change the title tag, but firefox does not update the displayed title (in window and tags) when this happens.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Try using this instead:

document.title = "MyTitle";

Answer 2

Try setting document.title to the new value
