SharePoint 2007 – JQuery to Fix Ugly Page Titles
One thing that I have always found quite annoying in SharePoint 2007 is that content page titles are ugly. For instance, if I create a new Web Part Page and give it the title “My Blog” with the URL “/pages/my_blog”, the title of the page in the browser ends up being “Pages – my_blog”. Quick ugly and not very user-friendly.
One solution to the issue that I have been using is setting the page title using JQuery. I have the JQuery library referenced in my Master Pages and I add the following into the Edit Source view of a blank Content Editor Web Part:
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
$(document).ready(function() {
document.title = 'My Blog';
});
</SCRIPT>
Just note that this does not affect how search engines see the title of the page. Since they do not render the JQuery, they will still see the “Pages – my_blog”.
