Will this help?

<html>
<head>
<title>titles.h tm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function titles() {
var what = "";
for (var i=0; i<44; i++) {
what += " .";
}
document.title += what;
window.status = document.title. length;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="titles( )">
</body>
</html>

However, it look like changing I above ~44 won't change it anymore.

Re: javascript / document.title question

Almost, unfortunately this just adds dots (44) after the title. I was hoping
for whitespaces to avoid clutter and improve clarity.

Re: javascript / document.title question

The closest that I can come is:

var documentTitle = "DOCUMENT TITLE";
for (var i=0; i<300; i++) { documentTitle += " "; }
document.write( "<title>"+docum entTitle+"</title>");

If someone has a better solution, I'd like to know.

Anything that worked would be better.

1) You can't change the title via "document.write ()".

2) " " in the title show up as-is not as a space.

3) The title may have a limit of about 100 characters.

BTW, did you actually try your own code?

Re: javascript / document.title question

Yes I did. The work around code produces the desired result.

(i.e. Instead of seeing 'DOCUMENT TITLE - Microsoft Internet Explorer' in
the title, I now see 'DOCUMENT TITLE ...'.)
I was hoping for a more elegant solution, but this will have to do for now.

I tested it under IE5.5, FF1.0 and NS6.2 and saw no change to the title in
the Title Bar at the top of the browser.

Here's the code I used:

<html>
<head>
<title>titlex.h tm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var documentTitle = "DOCUMENT TITLE";
for (var i=0; i<300; i++) { documentTitle += " "; }
document.write( "<title>"+docum entTitle+"</title>");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

When I changed the last line to:
document.title = documentTitle;

Under NS6.2 I saw no change.

Under IE5.5 I saw (one one line):

DOCUMENT
TITLE &nbs p;  & nbsp; &nbs p;  & nbsp; &nbs p
; &nb - Microsoft Internet Explorer p

Under FF1.0 I saw (one one line):

DOCUMENT TITLE
  &nb sp;     &nb sp;     &nb s
p;  & nbsp; &nbs p;  & nbsp;&nb

(which filled up the entire Title Bar)

Re: javascript / document.title question

Remove the line:

<title>titlex.h tm</title>

All works fine with IE6 and Firefox

Re: javascript / document.title question

Why would you want to remove the Browser's branding title from the
browser? I hope it's not a spoofing attempt to make a browser window
look like a system window.

I took out the title tags and:

Under FF1.0 it works.

Under IE5.5 it clears about 4.5 inches.

Under NS6.2 it doesn't work; I saw: Netscape 6.
