    How do I get <TITLE> from frame?

    Hello,
    I am trying to find the <TITLE> element of my document. Normally

    alert(document. title);

    works just fine, but when this statement is within a page that is a
    frame in a larger document, the above call always returns the title of
    the parent (container) page. Is it possible through JS to deduce the
    <TITLE> element of the current page, even if that page is a frame?

    Much thanks - Dave

      alert(top.docum ent.title);

          Thanks for the reply, but I think I misphrased my question. If my
          "top" document is:

          <html>
          <head><title>To p</title></head>
          <body>
          <table>
          <tr><td><ifra me width="200" height="300" src="frame.htm"
          name="n"></iframe></td></tr>
          </table>
          </body>
          </html>

          and my frame, "frame.htm" is:

          <html>
          <head><title>Fr ame</title></head>
          <body>
          <script type="text/javascript">
          alert(document. title);
          </script>
          </body>
          </html>

          I want the alert to say "Frame" not "Top," which is what displays with
          the current text or even if I include the suggestion
          "alert(top.docu ment.title)". Again, much thanks if someone can crack
          this enigmatic problem. -

              Weird, which browser are you using? I get the correct titles when trying
              this in IE6/WinME: different results for alert(document. title) and
              alert(top.docum ent.title). Both can even be changed dynamically (although
              there is litle point in doing that with the framed document). Strange is,
              however, that the actual text displayed in the titlebar is not always
              updated, when trying forexample, to make top.document.ti tle=document.ti tle,
              and then there is no way to confirm if it worked as the top.document.ti tle
              string will reflect the new value.
