Description
Hi guys,
I was working on changing html title via a small script using this following method:
$("html title").html(docTitle+" | "+currentTitle);
That throw an "unexpected call to method or property access" error in IE8. After switching the method to:
document.title = docTitle+" | "+currentTitle;
The error went away. Not sure if this is IE or Jquery.

The correct cross-browser way to alter the title is by assigning to the document.title property.

I experienced a similar issue today in IE8 with the following code:
$("title").html("Lorem ipsum");Using jQuery unminified rev 6246 I tracked the error down to the append: function on lines 252-257. Turns out that when the tagName is TITLE, line 255 throws an error.
The original function is:
append: function() { return this.domManip(arguments, true, function(elem){ if (this.nodeType == 1) this.appendChild( elem ); }); },I edited the function (naturally, thereby killing the functionality with respect to titles) and made the error go away:
append: function() { return this.domManip(arguments, true, function(elem){ if (this.nodeType == 1 && this.tagName != "TITLE") this.appendChild( elem ); }); },does indeed work correctly.Hope that helps...
