Try this:

       window.document.title = "yourtitle";
        if (window.dialogArguments) {
            window.opener = window.dialogArguments;
        }
        function setTitle() {
            document.title = "NewTitle";
            alert(document.title)

        }

You can pass a new title via dialog arguments argument, just like you've tried:

var results = window.showModalDialog(url, 'Add Cartons', windowarguments);

And then in a script in the dialog:

document.title = window.dialogArguments;

Though looks like they haven't fixed the showModalDialog() in Chrome yet. So this is not going to work in Chrome.

You need to change the title of the window you're calling (the popup), not the one from which you're calling the popup. So, put <title>Add Cartons</title> inside the head of your popup and it will show up.

To modify it based on the popup call, use the arguments, read them from the popup and dynamically change the title.
