RE: IE title bug

It is actually a known bug in Flash with IE

If you go here:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/#globalnav

you'll get #globalnav in the title 3 times as there are 3 flash players in
the page!

We are actually now not using anchors (I wasn't too happy about them anyway)
so no longer have the problem.

Thanks for the reply though.

This is probably more of a straight HTML/JS/something question.

Do you happen to be using any kind of javascript or vbscript in your
source that does any kind of "application.caption" or "window.title" or
anything like that?

I've used "Application.Caption" in VBA within Excel to update the title
of a window so I could get a quick and dirty status of something being
processed and I've seen odd things happen with that.


If your <title></title> HTML tag looks ok, I'd try to look into any
application. Or window. Stuff in Javascript or VBScript or some other
browser based scripting stuff.

Good luck!
