Hi I am facing a problem with setting the modal window title..

source of 1.html


<html>
    <head>
        <script language="javascript">
            function openNewWin() {
                window.showModalDialog("2.html", self, "status: Yes;dialogWidth:500px;dialogHeight:400px");
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body onLoad="openNewWin();">
    </body>
</html>

source of 2.html

PHP: Select all


<html>
    <head>
        <script language="javascript">
        window.document.title = "Nitin"
            if (window.dialogArguments) {
                window.opener = window.dialogArguments;
            }
            function setTitle() {
                document.title = "NewTitle"
                alert(document.title)

            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <input type="button" value="Change title" onClick="setTitle();">
    </body>
</html>

I run 1.html file and click on button to change the title in alert it shows the updated title but the title bar value is not updated.

Can anyone help

there is no solution with client side script

Only using server-side script like ASP the title can be updated
