Question

Hey i’m loading an html page using ajax into a string, now i want to find the title of the page and use it.

Now i did manage to get the <title> using regex but that returns the tag along with the title itself and i wish to extract that from the string or could there be a way to do that in the regex?

This is my code :

var title = result.match(/<title[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/title>/);

Now how do i get the actuall title after this/ instead of this?

Answer 1

load your response html string into a jQuery object like so and retrieve the text

$(response).find("title").text();
