Subject: IE/JS/F5 bug - document.title?
From: Jason Bouwmeester
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 18:40:11 -0000

I am trying to affect the page title of the HTML page with a javascript
called from Flash. This is supposed to work in 4+ browsers, except for NS4.
It works great in NS6 - however, IE5.5 it doesn't. I know it is passing the
right parameters because I added an alert to the code and in IE it is
displaying the right value for the variable being passed from Flash.

This is my javascript code in the <HEAD> section of my document:

<SCRIPT>
<!--
function newTitle(newtitle){
alert(newtitle);
document.title=newtitle;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Now, if I access newTitle function from <a href> tags, it works fine. I
stick the Flash movie in and the <a href> links still work BUT when I click
on a link in the Flash movie, the alert pops up with the correct new title
but then the page title does not update. At that point as well, the <a href>
text links no longer work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA,
jb
