    Subwindow title bar

    We have a Javascript function that opens an electronic document in a
    subwindow. The Title bar of the subwindow shows the filepath of the
    document. Looking at the script below is there any way to add script
    to the function to either not show the path in the title bar or
    replace the path with other text?

    function launchEDoc() {
    var subWindow
    window.document .title = "InSight"
    if (document.forms[0].EDoc.length){
    for (var i = 0; i < document.forms[0].EDoc.length; i++)
    if (document.forms[0].EDoc[i].checked)
    var doc = escape(document .forms[0].EDoc[i].value)
    }else{
    var doc = escape(document .forms[0].EDoc.value)
    }
    subWindow = window.open("La unchEDoc.asp?ED oc=" + doc, "_blank",
    "toolbar=0,dire ctories=no,loca tion=0,status=0 ,menubar=0,scro llbars=1,resiza ble
    =1, width=950, height=580, left=0px, top=100px")

    if(subWindow.op ener) {

    subWindow.opene r = window

    }

    subWindow.focus ()

    }

    Thank you

      document.title is read only, so there is NO WAY to change it after the
      page posts with javascript, or anything else for that matter...as far
      as I know. You have to do it during load.

      My suggestion is to create a frame or iframe page, that accepts your
      documents as a parameter, along with whatever you want your title to
      say.

      For example, change your window.open to start like this:
      window.open("/docloader.asp?t itle="+doc+"&sr c=/LaunchEDoc.asp? EDoc="+doc+"_bl ank"...

      Then docloader.asp, or whatever you want to call it, would be a simple
      frame or iframe page, such as:
      <title><%=reque st("TITLE")%></title>
      <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
      <iframe src="<%=request ("SRC")%>" width="100%" height="100%"
      frameborder="1" ></iframe>

      Then when the window opens, it will have your document in it, and the
      title bar will be whatever you passed it in your window.open
      statement.

          That's not true anymore. Whilst earlier versions of JavaScript marked
          document.title read-only, recent browsers allow it to be altered. This is
          reflected in the W3C DOM 1 HTML Specification and Microsoft's DHTML
          Reference[1].

          [1] Netscape's latest documentation does not list the document host
          object, so I can't cite its support. However, Mozilla will change document
          titles, so one can assume that it's allowed on Mozilla-based browsers.
