Answer 2

+3 A:

document.title = 'new value';

Is this not working for you?

Strangely no. I can read the value of document.title, but I cannot seem to change the display. I have tried setting it in the head of the document as well as in the body.

@subbit, Are you sure your browser isn't preventing you from changing the title? Check your browser's options.

Answer 3

A:

This will work also:

$('title').text("Boo");

`.text` is preferable.

Not sure why I couldn't get the document.title or this.title to take, but Vincent's method did the trick. I should've been more specific in what I was doing, I suppose, in my question. I am grabbing the contents of a div near the end of the html body and writing it out to the page title. If I figure out what the problem was I'll post it up here.

I Agree with @strager. I will edit the answer to suit.
