Fetch Page Title Using JavaScript

This page describes how to fetch page title using javascript. In this code, when we click on a button on the webpage, the page title is displayed. It is a nice way to display your page title on your webpage using javascript.

HTML, CSS, JavaScript:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Task 3</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500&display=swap">
    <style>
        body {
            font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
            text-align: center;
            background-color: #f7f7f7;
            padding: 20px;
        }
        .container {
            max-width: 400px;
            margin: 40px auto;
            padding: 20px;
            background-color: #fff;
            border: 1px solid #ddd;
            box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
            border-radius: 10px;
        }
        .button {
            background-color: #4CAF50;
            color: #fff;
            padding: 10px 20px;
            border: none;
            border-radius: 5px;
            cursor: pointer;
        }
        .button:hover {
            background-color: #3e8e41;
        }
        #title-container {
            margin-top: 20px;
            font-size: 24px;
            font-weight: bold;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Page Title Fetcher</h1>
        <button class="button" id="fetch-button">What is the Page Title?</button>
        <div id="title-container"></div>
    </div>
    <script>
        const fetchButton = document.getElementById('fetch-button');
        const titleContainer = document.getElementById('title-container');

        fetchButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
        const pageTitle = document.title;
        titleContainer.innerHTML = `The page title is: <span style="color: blue">${pageTitle}</span>`;
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

In this code internal CSS is used and it can be changed according to liking.

Steps:

As the main task is to display a page title, provide a title to your webpage.
Decide how the webpage will look.

In the <body> create a container that will contain a heading, a button and will also display the page title upon clicking of the button.

<div class="container">
    <h1>Page Title Fetcher</h1>
    <button class="button" id="fetch-button">What is the Page Title?</button>
    <div id="title-container"></div>
</div>

Provide an ID to the button and the division of output.

Now, in the javascript, get the button and output dividon by ID.

const fetchButton = document.getElementById('fetch-button');
const titleContainer = document.getElementById('title-container');

Create an event listener function for button click. Inside that fetch the page title using ‘document.title’ and then display it using ‘innerHTML’.

fetchButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    const pageTitle = document.title;
    titleContainer.innerHTML = `The page title is: <span style="color: blue">${pageTitle}</span>`;
});

You can also change the colour of the page title so that it stands out. Here I have applied blue colour to the page title when it is displayed. However, any other styles can also be applied to make the text stand out.

Output:

Here is how the page looks.

To see how it works click on the link. Fetch page title.
