I wouldn't be as categorical as Sri on this one... Document.get().setTitle(...) and Window.setTitle(...) are *exactly* equivalent, so use the one you prefer depending on your context... > 2) is it true, that history tokens also get attached to the browser > title - as I see # token in the browser title as well (not sure, if it > is bug in my code) or default behaviour? That's a browser behavior (I'd call it a bug in the browser if you ask me). As Sri said, History doesn't do anything with the document's title. IMO, the workaround is to set the title before calling History.setItem () (if you're using a Hyperlink, this means attaching a ClickHandler and setting the title there) so that your browser's history will use the appropriate title for the "bookmarked" state –be it a bookmark or just an entry in the browser's history list–, *and* also set it in response to history change (eventually in a deferred command or timer). That being said, having looked recently at ReallySimpleHistory's source code, they're setting the hidden iframe's document title too; so maybe GWT's History should do that automatically too and that might be the reason your title is replaced/being appended with the history token (in IE 6 and 7 only, as other browsers don't use the hidden iframe). I'm almost sure I already seen this behavior on Google Reader on Chrome, so maybe there's actually no workaround that either you or GWT's History could use... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
