HTMLTitleElement
The HTMLTitleElement
interface contains the title for a document. This element inherits all of the properties and methods of the HTMLElement
interface.
Properties
Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement
.
HTMLTitleElement.text
-
Is a
DOMString
representing the text of the document's title, and only the text part. For example, consider this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello world! <span class="highlight">Isn't this wonderful</span> really?</title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
let title = document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0];
console.log( title.text ); // yield: "Hello world! really?"
As you can see, the tag span
and its content were skipped.
Methods
No specific method; inherits methods from its parent, HTMLElement
.
Example
Do not confuse: document.title
with document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0]
The former is just a setter/getter method to set or get the inner text value of the document title, while the latter is the HTMLTitleElement
object. So you cannot write: document.title.text = "Hello world!";
Instead, you can simply write: document.title = "Hello world!";
which is an equivalent to document.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].text = "Hello world!";
