Answer 3

make the title attribute match with the id of the current page, then

$("ul.pages li").click(function() {
     $("ul.pages li").removeClass("active");
     $(this).addClass("active"); 
     $(".page_content").hide();
     var activepage = $(this).find("a").attr("href")
     $(activepage).show();       
     $("h1[title="+activepage+"]").html("The new Title");
     return false;
});

If you want to change the value of the title of the page, you can try:

var current = $('h1').attr('title')
$('title').text(current)

// or document.title = current;
