HTMLTitleElement

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 HTMLTitleElement interface is implemented by a document's <title>. This element inherits all of the properties and methods of the HTMLElement interface.

Instance properties

Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.

HTMLTitleElement.text: A string representing the text of the document's title.

Instance methods

No specific method; inherits methods from its parent, HTMLElement.

Example

Do not confuse: document.title with document.querySelector('title')

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.querySelector('title').text = "Hello world!";
