Q436 How do I amend the title of the current document?

You can try amending the title property - in older browsers this property is read only. You can do is something like:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
window.title = 'This is *my* title';
//--></script>

In Internet Explorer 5.x (I haven't tried it in Internet Explorer 4.x yet) you can use:

document.title = "Your new title";

to place the date and time in the title bar, and even to create a real time clock in the title bar by updating the title every second.
