Set » HTML entity in JavaScript's document.title?

Question

Answer 1

document.title takes the string as it is, so you can do this:

document.title = 'Home » site.com';

If you need to provide it as the entity name, you can set the innerHTML attribute. Here are two examples of how you can do it.

document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].innerHTML = '»';
// or
document.querySelector('title').innerHTML = "»";
