I am creating a new popup window using window.open and document.write. I include a line that gives the page a title but the name of the new window always comes up "Untitled."
Test page Workaround is not included

4put your document.write in another page (that the first one opens) and it does work...

5I've just discovered this myself with Safari 1.3 / 1.3.1
Brian, could you give me more information on your work-around as this would really help me out.

6If anyone has found a fix or a workaround, please post details! It's interesting that if the newly-created window/document contains the JavaScript code 'alert(document.title)', the desired title is displayed in the alert box, but the window itself remains 'Untitled'.

1Works for me in Safari 1.0 and 1.1 (I do not have 1.2, 1.3 or 2.0 to test right now). Does this only fail in specific versions?
