Alternatives to document.title?

Question

I'm attempting to return the page title. Using document.title doesn't appear to be reliable. It's often returning the title of frames within a page and sometimes nothing depending on the web page. I'd like to return the title which appears at the top of the tab eg Gmail - Inbox etc.. on a Gmail page. Is there any alternatives to document.title? I'm testing on Chrome.

Answer 1

Sounds like the problem is with frames. You could try top.document.title , which will give you the title of the topmost frame.
