User feedback:

 Netscape 6.1 Problem
 
Primary Browser: 	ie55  
Operating System: 	Win2K  
Language: 		English  
Issue Summary: 		The title is not shown in the titlebar when I present a XML-doc
with XSLT
Component: 		Navigator
Doing What: 		Other  Testing XML/XSLT in NN 6.1
Severity: 		SomethingDidNotWorkRight  
Can Reproduce: 		DoNotKnow
Try this URL: 		http://www.private.weboffice.dk/crn/links.xml
Issue Detail: 
I've made a simple XML-document and transforms it
with a simple XSL-stylesheet. I have a <TITLE>-tag
in the stylesheet, but the titlebar (top of the
Navigator window) do not change. Instead it keeps
the last visited webpage's title visible.

I'll put this to XSLT since XHTML titles work correctly when XSLT is not involved.

This is one of the infamous "you can't do it js, you can't do it XSLT" bugs.

The following js exposes the same bug:

tmp = window.open('about:blank');
titleEl = tmp.document.createElement('title');
tmp.document.document.appendChild(titleEl);
titleVal = tmp.document.createTextNode("This won't show");
titleEl.appendChild(titleVal);

My testing suggests that the title in the display can only be changed thru
document.title. Modifying the DOM just doesn't do anything at all. And modifying
document.title does nothing to the DOM, at least nothing I can see in DumpDOM.

Peter, I guess it's you, whether you change the component or not.
At least you might have to workaround this in the output. Ugh.

All these missed the bus/train/plane/boat/whatever. Sad.

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

The patch for 96647 is nearly done, but it's a bit big and we need time for
reviews, unless something serious comes up this should land early in 0.9.7.

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

Patch for bug 96647 should be final, so these will be fixed early in 0.9.9
(really!).
