IE title changes to <afterHash> if the page has a url with '#' , and has flash/swf embedded in it


The following workaround is the only way (till now) , that I got nearest to solving the issue:

var isIE11OrGreater = !!(navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident/) && !navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE/));if (!isIE11OrGreater) {    var originalTitle = document.title.split("#")[0];        document.attachEvent('onpropertychange', function (evt) {       if(evt.propertyName === 'title' && document.title !== originalTitle) {        setTimeout(function () {           document.title = originalTitle;        }, 1);    }});}//Incase the developer wants to change the title manually, instead of directly using     //document.title=newtitle, he will need to use changeTitle(newTitle)    function changeTitle(newTitle)    {        originalTitle = newTitle;        document.title = newtitle;    }


It is IE bug:

If you are using sammy's title method you could delay the execution a bit to make it behave on IE.

setTimeout(function() {    context.title('Some title');}, 1000);

This won't solve it really, but I have noticed that a little delay helps IE sometimes.


I'm not really familiar with sammy.js but:

1) the Flash object is somehow 'taking ownership' of the title property.

OR

2) sammy.js is clearing the title value on HTML losing focus aka Flash gaining it (less likley and don't know why would someone do that)

If 1) -> define the title property in the Flash object itself (not a Flash user, dunno if it can be done easily)

If 2) -> the javascript is dumping a variable string value connected to the title property?

SUGGESTION:

Enclose your flash object in a new <div> element, assigning the <div> a .click() event handler that changes the title property of a document. Try this:

$('title').text('YourTitleHere');
