Question

What is that called and how do you do it? My page refreshes every 10 seconds using jquery querying a database.

I get new tables casually and I want to be able to update the field to display how many new tables were gathered. I want this because instead of viewing the page to see if any updates happened I can just look at the title of the page inside a tab instead of switching over every 10 seconds you know?

How can this be done? Thanks.

Also the data I am gathering is text in a small table and data is just failed admincp user credentials.

You can change the title of a HTML document using JavaScript:

var title = "This is my new title, can be anything";    
document.title = title;

I don’t know how you are storing the number of new fields, but you could use a function like this:

function updateTitleBar (newTables)
{
   document.title = newTables;
}

… Or you can just use document.title = newTables where you define the newTables somewhere else (and change that value every time you refresh the page in jQuery).
