Terrific.</p> <p>As the user clicks around, the displayed content changes. I need the title of the page to change too. Currently it gets the title from the controller <code>MyCtrl</code> like this: <code><title>{{myctrl.title}}</title></code>. But when the user clicks those links, those states each have their own controllers. So I cannot use <code><title>{{myctrl.title}}</title></code>. </p> <p>How can I update the title when various states the user clicks on have different controllers?</p></div> <div class="mt24 mb12">
