Bug 12617 – Using NPN_SetProperty to set document.title doesn't work.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Plug-ins

[William Bardwell]

In Safari 2.0.2(416.13), when I try to set the title in the browser using:
NPN_GetValue(inst->npp, NPNVWindowNPObject, &window_object)
NPN_GetProperty(inst->npp, window_object,
NPN_GetStringIdentifier("document"), &vdoc)
NPVariant title_variant;
STRINGZ_TO_NPVARIANT(title_copy, title_variant);
NPN_SetProperty(npp, document, NPN_GetStringIdentifier("title"),
&title_variant);
Seems to not work, even though that works in other browsers.

Hi William, please test this against WebKit ToT (tip-of-tree) to find out if the bug still exists.  A stand-alone test case (code and/or HTML) would also help to get this bug fixed quicker.  Thanks!

I think this is easiest to test with our own TestNetscapePlugin (in WebKitTools/DumpRenderTree).

I have tried adding this code to TestNetscapePlugin, and the window title got successfully changed after calling it.

void* window_object;
NPVariant vdoc;
browser->getvalue(obj->npp, NPNVWindowNPObject, &window_object);
browser->getproperty(obj->npp, window_object, browser->getstringidentifier("document"), &vdoc);
browser->setproperty(obj->npp, vdoc.value.objectValue, browser->getstringidentifier("title"), &newName);

I don't know if it was a bug in shipping WebKit, or something else. Please re-open if you can still reproduce with TOT WebKit.
