[IUG] Browser title information in webpac pages

[Bruce Eames <bme at unimelb dot edu dot au>]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for that - I see now that Andrew's instructions are quite clear .. if only I had remembered they were there.

It works of course but then you lose the scope name in the title bar.

I notice Brooklyn Lublic Library has a variation - they have the 245 field displaying in  the title bar on single record displays e.g. 
http://iii.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/search~S63?/Xcats&searchscope=63&SORT=D/Xcats&searchscope=63&SORT=D&SUBKEY=cats/1%2C2282%2C2282%2CB/frameset&FF=Xcats&searchscope=63&SORT=D&1%2C1%2C

I will have to ponder further...

Cheers,

Bruce.

You're using the script from Andrew Welch that writes the user's 
search terms to the RightResult table headers.  It includes a switch 
to also display the search terms in the browser's title bar.  In the 
script (in your botlogo), find:

var chgTitle = 0

...and change the zero to a one.

Restart the WebPAC processes and you should see the search term(s) in 
the title bar on search results screens.

Note that if you include the script in your botlogo and you use the 
botlogo token in bib_display.html, the title bar will reflect the 
current search when viewing a bib record, and not the title from the 
record (because the script is grabbing the search terms from the 
search tool).  Getting the record title to the page's title element 
in record views requires a little more effort.
