I'm trying to update the title bar in the window from a frame...
this works in IE 6, NS 6, but not NS 4.77

I've played with it for 2 days now, and I'm thinking that it's not possible. Can anyone else shed more light on this abyss?

hey Mark - does this suggest that top.document.title is a read-only property?

Quote: * Page display
The content area displays a page. Text can be selected and copied. The content area of some pages is segmented into rectangular frames, each frame containing its own page. A page's background can be set by you or determined by the transmitted page. The location field lets you enter the location (URL) of a page you wish to bring to screen. The status message field and title bar text are read-only.

from this page - also found this

Quote: function refreshStatus(){ // doesn't work cause document.title is read-only
// top.document.title = "STALKER ::search('" + queryString + "'):dive('" + queryDepth + "'):status('" + queryStatus + ")'";
}

on this page - a clue perhaps

on the other hand, N4 is "checked" on this page - maybe the problem is the frame...
