JavaScript Code Problem

Help, I'm writing a photoalbum in JAVA and need some help...

I want to change the title of the browser window (the remote one) to something more meaningful (like my webspace name)

The code which creates a new window with the image in is:
imgName="photos/st_"+aImage[iImagenum]
imgWindow=window.open(imgName,"imgWin","Width=660, height=510,scrollbars=no,status=yes")
imgWindow.window.status=aText[iImagenum]

I can change the "Status Bar" of the window as in the 3rd line of code above, but I want to change/set the title (Ie. nthellworld.co.uk at the top left of your browser).

Any ideas?

Best I could manage but it works!

imgName="photos/st_"+aImage[iImagenum]
imgWindow=window.open('','imgWin','height=510,widt h=660,scrollbars=no,status=yes');
imgWindow.document.write('<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Your Selected Image: '+aImage[iImagenum]+'</TITLE>');
imgWindow.document.write('<LINK REL="stylesheet" HREF="../../../rtstyle_zeddy.css">');
imgWindow.document.write('</HEAD>');
imgWindow.document.write('<BODY>');
imgWindow.document.write("<IMG SRC="+imgName+" </IMG>");
imgWindow.document.write('</BODY></HTML>');
imgWindow.window.status=aText[iImagenum]

Don't you mean Javascript

Code:

<html>
<head><title>Extreme PhotoAlbum</title></head>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
imgWindow=window.open("image0013.jpg","imgWin","Width=660,height=510,scrollbars=no,status

=yes");
imgWindow.document.title="Really interesting picture";
</script>
</body>
</html>

/edit works in IE6, doesn't in Mozilla 1.4 or Nescape 4

Guess it depends whether that's important

Cheers mate, I was certain that I'd tried the obvious but alas I can't have done - I've stuck with my dodgy code because I've duplicated it in a number of html pages now!!!

Thanks again...

could you not just use document.title ?

edit: should maybe read whole thread before replying

Maybe you should select everthing before you start to copy over to another location

You shouldn't be using IE only JS, try learning the proper way with the DOM:
