Setting Window Title On New Window

[Daniel Morrissey]

Why will the following code not change the window title of the new window?

window.open "Default.htm" ,"YO"

[William F. Robertson, Jr.]

Is "YO" not being put in the title of the browswer. It should be with the
IE setting title name appended to it.

Unless there is a broswer setting that is preventing it, syntaxtically that
is correct.

No, "YO" is not showing up in the browser title. Also, if the variable that
I pass to the title argument of the open method contains a space, I get an
error in the browser's status panel.

Hi

This is the name of the window not the title
<title>MyWindow</title>
So you have to set the title....

Probably you can do this in the child
document.write("<title>" + window.name + "</title>");
