Get content of a <title> element in html using JavaScript

Question

I have a html page and i have it something like

<title>this is very cool!</title>

i would like to write a javascript function to retrieve the text in between the <Title> tags. I'm familiar with getElementById and getElementsByName, is there something I've missed?

thanks!

you can use getElementsByTagName() function to get element text property, try this

document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].text
