From which place Selenium Webdriver gets title - using driver.title

Question

From which place Selenium Webdriver usually gets title - using driver.title ?

• from Page Source
• or from DOM structure

Answer 1

title

title returns the title of the current page.

• Usage:

   title = driver.title 

• Defination:

   def title(self): """Returns the title of the current page. :Usage: title = driver.title """ resp = self.execute(Command.GET_TITLE) 

• Details: When you invoke driver.title the HTTP GET request is invoked through the /session/{session id}/title URI Template .

NOTE : This command returns the document title of the current top-level browsing context, equivalent to calling document.title .

• The remote end steps are:
  • If the current top-level browsing context is no longer open, return error with error code no such window.
  • Handle any user prompts and return its value if it is an error.
  • Let title be the result of calling the algorithm for getting the title attribute of the current top-level browsing context's active document.
  • Return success with data title.
