what do you mean by `title`? `title` of document being displayed? if so use `document.title='LinkedIn';` — Vedant Terkar, Dec 28 '14 at 14:44

First, give your "a" an id, like so:

<li><a id="myAElement" href="#" title="LinkedIn">LinkedIn</a></li>

Now to change the title, do:

$("#myAElement").attr("title","Instagram");

To change the text displayed, do:

$("#myAElement").html("Instagram");
