Safari 3.X: Bookmarks with dynamic titles
April 15, 2008 @ 09:53
Safari (at least on Leopard) has this really annoying behaviour; if you’re using bookmarks, the tabs that are used for displaying these will always have names corresponding to the names of the bookmark items. This is really annoying for e.g. Gmail - you’ll want the title of the tab displaying the Gmail inbox to be able to be updated (since it shows you if there are any new mails in your inbox).
Philip at work came up with a simple solution to this; just take your bookmark, say…
http://mail.google.com
…and change the address of the item it to…
javascript:document.location=”http://mail.google.com”
This will make the title update to whatever the title of the page currently is, instead of the name of the bookmark. Brilliant!
