Setting Window Name(title) dynamically for a pop up window
Hi,
I have a requirement to open a pop up on a click of link, which will open a document(can be anything like .txt, .doc,.pdf etc) from an external url. This functionality is implemented by using a html control where on click of the link a javascript function is invoked which inturn invokes the openurlinwindow function. Code snippet as given below
var NewWin = openUrlInWindow(externalurl, "NewDoc",PopupWindowFeatures);
Now this works fine except that the url is displayed in the title bar by default and the user wants it displayed by the document name. I have tried setting the Document name value to the html title property as per below but it is not reflected in the title bar.
NewWin.document.title = Document Name;
I have also tried some other approaches like setting a delay and executing the above expression after the document is loaded, also tried to open the url in a specific frame in the html page but none of it seems to work, if anyone has any idea on how to implement this or has faced a similar issue please help with this.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Ashok,
Thanks for your reply, but I have tried this already and the second parameter of openurlinwindow function value does not get set into the title bar of the window... it is the html reference of the window I guess, i.e the window name but not the title. I will check whether passing the window name value works in the ootb functionality and see if it gets set into the title...

PRADEEP7 , the reason it is not working is the method does not return the new document and returns null. so var NewWin is null in your script.place a debugger in your script and watch the variable.
Check this link to see your ie browser settings for the new reference.
Thanks,

Pradeep7,
As you are opening an external url just use the native method to open the url and then change the title.
var NewWin=window.open() followed by the title change.

Hi Ashok,
Thanks for your suggestions again.
I have tried the above methods, now even if I am able to set the title of the window it reverts back to the url when the url/document is fully loaded.
Thanks,

PRADEEP7, surprising. I gave a try with this url with the below snippet and the window name changed in IE.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Click the button to open a new browser window.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var newwindow = window.open("http://www.w3schools.com");debugger;
newwindow.document.title="testtitle";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Did you see the new window reference coming back fromo open method ?
Thanks,

Hi Ashok/Pradeep,
Did you get any solution, we are facing the same issue. we tried above but didnt worked out,
var obj1 = window.open( '', "Test",'width=680,height=645,top=........);
obj1.document.write("<html><head><title></title></head><body> <iframe src ="'+oSafeURL.toURL()+"></iframe></body></html>");
obj1.document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].innerHTML = name;

This is the definition of openUrlInWindow. so please send document name as the second parameter in your method.You can use jsp to read the document name from a property in clipboard. you can also hide the location bar(this parameter has to be set in sOptions). I suggest try configuring a button(OOTB) with to do open url in window and look into the options.Please see below screenshot.
Thanks,
Ashok
