Dynamic Page Titles

Posted on October 05, 2006

I like the dynamic page titles on this flash site. Very simple, but I can't remember seeing it before. When the user moves to different sections of the site, flash calls a simple javascript that changes the title element in the html document.

function setTitle(title)
{
	document.title = title;
}

Animated page titles: the new status bar ticker?

Just out of curiosity - what is the flash call? I tried this on a button and no such luck:

on (release) {
getURL("JavaScript:setTitle('something')");
}

Sorry… i am not very quick…

@ss: try writing "javascript" in lower-case. (BTW: It's always a good idea to say what browser / flash version you are using when something isn't working.)

Here's an example page. I used the DOM this time for the JavaScript, although the old skool version worked perfectly well (at least in Safari/Firefox).
