Thanks, but I'll just use document.title
Much easier.

If you insist in doing it that way I would opt for 
document.getElementsByTagName("TITLE").item(0).firstChild.nodeValue
instead 
of messing about with the data property.

In the interests of completeness, I did a quick test with the code you
posted 
originally. Results are as follows.

Both xPloder 6 & 7 do not understand any of this. It seems the title
element 
has neither child nodes nor a nodeValue. [since 6 didn't work I haven't
even 
tried below v.6].

Another point of note is that the Fox can be satisfied with 
document.getElementsByTagName("TITLE").[0] instead of item(0); both
Safari 
and Opera insist on the use of the item method.
