    title window.open()

    In my web application I provide the user with a popup window to a rich
    text document by calling window.open(). My problem is that the title of
    the open window is something like
    http://localhost:8080/app/images/232334.rtf. Is it possible to set this
    title to something different. As Im loading what is basically a word
    document instead of a html document I can't set it in the page.

    Thanks
    Clive

      There is no title property/attribute for window. The Title actually
      belong to document, so we can not modify the title on window.open().
      If you want, you can modify the title using
      onload="this.do cument.title='n ewtitle'"
      on the new window.

          If you really need to modify the title of document in new window, try the following:

          <HTML>
          <script>

          var var_oTimer_Obj, var_oWinOpen_Ne w;
          function fun_mWinOpen()
          {
          var_oWinOpen_Ne w = window.open('ab out:blank');
          var_oTimer_Obj = window.setInter val("fun_mDoc_R eTitle('~~newTi tle~~')", 10);
          }

          function fun_mDoc_ReTitl e(prm_sDoc_NewT itle)
          { if (var_oWinOpen_N ew.document.rea dyState == 'complete')
          { var_oWinOpen_Ne w.document.titl e=prm_sDoc_NewT itle;
          window.clearInt erval(var_oTime r_Obj);
          }
          }

          </script>
          <input type=button value="open window" onclick="fun_mW inOpen()"></input>
          </HTML>

              Depending on the browser in use and how it's configured, there's
              a very good chance that the document won't open in a browser window
              at all, but in a separate Word application window.

              However, in those situations where it will open in a browser window,
              you should be able to use this code, to open it in a frame of a new
              window whose title you can set:


              function showDoc(URL){
              globalHTML="<ht ml><head><title >Something Different</title></head>"
              +"<frameset rows='100%,*'>< frame src='"+URL+"'></frame>"
              +"</frameset></html>";
              window.open("ja vascript:opener .globalHTML","m yPOPUP");
              }

                  No offense meant, but I would really hate to have to read
                  much code using that naming convention.

                  It leaves no doubt about what every identifier is, but at
                  the cost of destroying the readability of the code.

                  If the code is written well, and meaningful names chosen
                  and appropriately documented, I shouldn't ever have any
                  question about the identifiers, anyway.

                  For example, if you name your functions "openNewWindow( )"
                  and "retitleDocumen t()", the simple fact that they are verbs
                  tells the reader that they are functions.

                      Thanks for your reply Lee

                      Your tip works ok apart from the fact that the word menus within ie are
                      no longer available. For example i am unable to forward the rtf
                      document as
                      an e-mail.

                      Any other ideas?

                      Thanks
                      Clive
