Change the for title and title bar in CRM 3.0 forms

I have given below the javascripts that needs to be used to change this.

var doc = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for (var i = 0; i < doc.length; i++)
{
if(doc[i].className == "formTitle")
{
var header = doc[i].innerText;
strName=crmForm.all.name.DataValue;
strTitle=crmForm.all.titleid.DataValue[0].name;
header = strTitle +". "+ strName ;
doc[i].innerText = "Member : " + header;
document.title ="Member : " + header;
}
}

This scripts will change both the form title and CRM form title bar.
i was helped by this post.
