are you serious?

Well I'll be damned, looks like it's a glitch in IE.

Figures.

What happens when you bookmark the page -- file name or page title?

What version of IE are you using? Has anyone else noticed this little mishap?

not local

Unfortunately, this isn't being used locally.

I've also noticed the problem in other websites online: the title changes to the URL of the file - even the zerocattle link you posted. :

So my guess is it's a problem with my particualr version of IE?

Locally?

It only happens locally as far as I can test. And only in IE.

Don't bother with the work arounds unless the page is only going to be viewed locally.

I took a page that works for me online ( zerocattle.com/info2.html ) , saved it to my harddrive (it's built with SSI, so I didn't have a local copy to play with) and duplicated your error in IE.It works fine online, only the first click works offline, then every other click gives just the file name.

It's obviously some IE bug/feature... (ha ha)

I'm using IE5. This problem does not occur on NS6. The page is being run locally.

Excerpt of the code I used:

<title>XYZ</title>

[...]

<a name='top'></a>

[...]

<!-- Normal -->
<a href='#top'><img src='top.gif' border='0'></a>

<!-- With JS title reset -->
<a href='#top'><img src='top.gif' onClick='document.title="XYZ"' border='0'></a>

Thanks.

I can't recreate that

What browser(s) are you getting this result in. It's not common. I suspect you are doing something funky to your coding in the first place.

Can we see the page(s) in question? That would be easier.
