Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In Visual J++, select New Project from the File menu.

In the New Project dialog box, click the New tab.

In the Visual J++ Projects tree, click Web Pages.

Click Code-Behind HTML.

Click Open to create the project.

Modify Class1.java as follows:


import com.ms.wfc.html.*;
import com.ms.wfc.core.*;
import com.ms.wfc.ui.*;

public class Class1 extends DhDocument
{
   public Class1()
   {
      initForm();
   }
   private void initForm()
   {
      setTitle("My Title");
   }
   protected void onDocumentLoad(Object sender, Event e)
   {

// Workaround: uncomment the following line or only set the title
// in the onDocumentLoad.
//    setTitle(getTitle());
   }
}

Modify Page1.html as follows:


<HTML>
<BODY>
<hr>
<OBJECT classid="java:com.ms.wfc.html.DhModule"
     height=0 width=0 ... VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME=__CODECLASS VALUE=Class1>
<PARAM NAME=CABBASE VALUE=Project1.CAB>
</OBJECT>
<!-- Insert HTML here -->
</BODY>
</HTML>

Run the project.

RESULT: The title of the browser is not "My Title."
