is there any way to get some page contents into page title tag?
running Oct 23 config.

reason need it: on some forums the <title> tag contains meaningless stuff like MS apps and etc, so i want to put in contents of the <div class='maintitle'>
i've done something like this

Code:

[Patterns]

Bounds = "<div class='maintitle'>*</div>"

Limit = 254

Match = "\1<b>\2</b>\3$SET(THtit=\2)"

Replace = "\1<b>\2</b>\3"

question is how to get it into <title> Smile!

thanks in advance for help.

thanks for the reply. sorry those are private boards, but the engine is a regular Invision Power Board.
i guess during engine setup, paranoia ruled Smile!

. strangely ruled though i must say.
the skin and structure is similar to this one - http://www.homefitness101.com/forum/inde...howtopic=2
for this example lets say i want to update the <title> with some contents of <div id='navstrip' align='left'>
i am having troubles not with finding and setting contents of THtit but with updating <title> and adding contents of THtit. because content that i need comes after! <title> has been processed.
i hope i'am not confusing and was able to explain what i need.

ah, i see the dilemma (contents coming after title)...

perhaps a <body> tag 'onload' of some kind?

I think I'd try using the Proxomitron to empty the Title block, capture the text, and add a javascript that uses document.title to modify the title.

Otherwise, BFMI. Remove the Title block, match from </head> to desired text, place new Title block, and replace matched code.

I'd try to generate a javascript that alters document.title after identifying the portion of the target DIV to use for it. I'd generate that script either just before the /DIV or after it, and totally ignore what-ever any previous <title> might have been (if any).

Below illustrates the method. In this example the script is appending (via '+=' construct) the string to the previous title content. Maybe you want to assign your desired text instead of append.

Code:

<html>

<head>

<title>the base title</title>

</head>

<body>

Some Stuff in the body ...

<script language="javascript">

document.title += ' ** And We Added This';

</script>

</body></html>

yay!

Code:

\1<b>\2</b>\3\r\n

<script language="javascript">\r\n

    pxDt = document.title;\r\n

    re = /Meaningless stuff/g;\r\n

    document.title = pxDt.replace(re, "") + '\2';\r\n

</script>\r\n

saw similar code in proxjs-full.js before but didn't get how to use it in my case. Smile!

thanks a lot for the hints.

so many sites have bad titles, this document.title method could be a general filter, that can be customized from an include-exclude or other list file.
_________
my purpose is only to bookmark and only a few sites worth the trouble, so i have a few site-specific filters. the filter creates link to the same page at location on the page where the usable info appears. simplified fake example, before:
<h1>text that should be good title, bookmark</h1>
after:
<h4><a href="\u">text that should be good title, bookmark_website.com</a></h4>
