[javascript] How to get current html page title with javascript

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.

try like this

$('title').text();

$('title').text();

returns all the title

but if you just want the page title then use

document.title

Like this :

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
    var title = jQuery(this).attr('title');
});

works for IE, Firefox and Chrome.
