HTMLTitleElement: text property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The text
property of the HTMLTitleElement
interface represents the text of the document's title. Only the text part is included; tags within the element and their content are stripped and ignored.
Value
A string.
Examples
Consider the example below:
html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>
Hello world! <span class="highlight">Isn't this wonderful</span> really?
</title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
js
const title = document.querySelector("title");
console.log(title.text); // yield: "Hello world! really?"
As you can see, the tag span
and its content were skipped.
