Duplicate Alerts | Updating the page title to show new alerts

[zeropaid]

Is it possible to update the page title using ajax to show that a new alert has been received?

I hate to use Facebook as an example, but they are a good one for this particular request.

For example, if I had a 3 new alerts while my browser window was open, the tab would read: "ABC Forums (3)

@russ is just refreshing the page or is it dynamically updating the title?

According to the resource page:

Auto-refreshes every minute to update in the background the alert count.

Not sure if that's what you want

So it basically creates a meta tag to refresh the page? Lame.

This could be a very nice feature in the future for xenforo.

This has already been suggested and explained why it's not feasible.
