IE7 Window Title

[pen81]

I develop an in house system, and to prevent the address bar appearing in my report windows I have added the server address to the Trusted Sites on my users browsers.

Since I have done this, the <title></title> tags seem to be ignored and the full URL is displayed at the top of the window.

How can I display a title?

It requires something there, otherwise it gets the URL display like you said. Just put a period and you should be good to go

<title>.</title>

Sorry, there is some text between the <title> tags.

If I set the location bar to appear using the 3rd parameter in window.open(), my title is displayed correctly. I only get the problem when I dont choose to include the address bar.

I have read other forums that indicate this feature is to do with URL spoofing - making sure the user can always see the URL of the page, but as I am setting this as a Trusted Site I should be able to display a sensible title

Never really tried it, but when i search around i see your problem is a common one. Sounds like the IIRC met and eventually all web browers will be like this. Can you turn off the printed footer so it won't show on the report? Or maybe doing a CSS print would work?

I'm not sure, but those are two ideas. IF and i mean if, you do find a solution, please post it back here.

The footer is not an issue. It is the title bar that is causing the problem, hence my mention of <title> tag
