HTMLTitleElement

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

EventTarget Node Element HTMLElement HTMLTitleElement

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!";
