top.document.title = 'My new title';

Note that some browsers (such as Netscape 4.x) allow this assignment,
but do not change the text that appears on the titlebar of the Web
browser and do not actually change the value of document.title (in
Windows, it may in other operating systems).

The frameset needs to come from the same domain as the page from which
you are trying to change the title for it to work.

The line above was tested and is working in IE6SP1, Mozilla Firebird 0.7
and Opera 7.23.

Treetop,

Don't think so. I could imagine you be able to change the title of a
document with it's DOM. But the page on the client needs to be refreshed
before you will see anything change.

Mover info over the Document Object Model, see http://www.w3c.org/DOM/

To quote the mentioned page:
"The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface
that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update
the content, structure and style of documents."
