setting title from iframe

kathy

The code I'm using works in firefox, but not in IE. Both the Top page
and the iframe reside in the same folder on the same server.

>From the iframe page I am using:

<body onLoad="top.document.title=document.title;" >

I added in alerts and the proper title names come up in both browsers,
but the actual tile in IE doesn't change. I need to do this without a
reload of the top page. I've been searching on google and haven't found
any clues.

I'd love any help or suggestions that you might have.

did you try some other things like these?

<body onLoad="top.document.title='test';" >
<body onLoad="top.document.title=self.document.title;" >

Peter,

I did try those as well and no change on IE. I also tried
OnLoad="alert(top.document.title);
alert(this.document.title);top.document.title=docu ment.title;" - and
the odd thing was the alerts printed the correct values. That's why I'm
wondering if I am not using the correct syntax for top.document.title -
I tried using parent.document.title as well and it didn't work either.
