Getting Title Bar Text

[guswaddell]

Hi,

Just wondering if there would be any way to get the title bar text of a
window that you have opened through Javascipt. Basically what I want to
do is open a new window to a certain site, check the title bar contains
a certian text string then close the window again.

The only other condition I'm faced with is that the original site I'm
going to will do a bit of redirection before I want to check the text
string, so I'm guessing I just put in a delay loop to let the window do
what it has to and then check the title bar text.

FYI - My reasoning for wanting to do this is to test if a users browser can
access certain non-standard port numbers (eg 449, 445, 444) which are
required in order to run a web based application that has been created for
us. Any other ideas on how to test this automatically would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Gus

I think the best way to do this would be to open the remote page as if it were a file, parse through the HTML and read the <title> tag to the the pages title. This means you could do what you want without having to pop up a window. If the page is unreachable you wouldn't be able to open the page for reading in the first place.
