I'm trying to get the plain html page title with javascript.

I use firefox and with

document.title

I get extra - Mozilla Firefox to the end of the title. I know it would be easy to get rid of this by modifying string but if they change text, use different format etc or some other browser modifies this differently I have extra text there again.

So, is there any cross browser way to get the plain tag content with javascript? Jquery solution is ok.

One option from DOM directly:

$(document).find(title).text();

Tested only on chrome & IE9, but logically should work on all browsers.

Or more generic

var title = document.getElementsByTagName(title)[0].innerHTML;
