Greets!

Trying to do some dynamic mumbo jumbo, and wondering if I can capture the title of the page into a javascript variable? I need to do that for some processing.

Ideas?

Pugzly, you haven't said is that JavaScript located on the same page or you want to capture title from some other page... If it's the first case, then solution would be:

var myTitle = document.title;

BTW This works in IE and Mozilla (NS6).

Actually, for the same page, and I only need it to work in IE anyways. It's for a "click here to add this page to your favorites" type script. It's not visible to NN.

Thanks for the info!

Pugzly, you can also add the web site to the Mozilla / Shitscape SideBar...

Yes, I do! Here we go...

First create a page with content that you would like to show in the SideBar. All links in that page must have TARGET="_content" in order to be showed in the main window. After that add the following JS code to the page where you want to add "Add To My SideBar" button / link:

function addMozillaSideBar() {
if (window.sidebar && window.sidebar.addPanel) {
// parameters: title, content URL, customize URL
window.sidebar.addPanel("My Site","http://www.link.to/content_page_for_SideBar.html","");
} else {
alert("This requires a Mozilla based browser! Visit: http://www.mozilla.org/ for more information.")
}
}

And add a link to the addMozillaSideBar function. That should be all...
