get document <Title>

[jimbowvu80s]

I am trying to get the document title so I can display it in the body section of a page.

<title>This is the name of the document</title>

Here's my javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById.title="doc_title";
document.write("This is the " + doc_title);
</script>

I don't think I have the correct elements because it doesn't display the "doc_title" Also, wasn't sure if this could be done with some html.

Thanks for your help.

That doesn't have an ID as your calling it. That's an element try giving it an id that is title like
<title id="title">w</title>. Then i think you want to switch the order of your equation around also. This assumes also that the title tag takes ids I don't know if it does.


var doc_title = document.getElementById.title.value;

I don't know much javascript though so if that doesn't work wait for someone that does.

Simple way of accessing the title is:



document.write('This is the ' + document.title);

Thanks Schmoopy. That works perfectly.
