Extract HTML title in Javascript

Suppose I have a URL like www.google.com, and I want Javascript/JQuery on my page to go see what is in the <title> for the content of that URL, and put it into a variable for me. How can I make it work?

This will also work for you. I'm not sure how a match compares, performance-wise, against the other options here:

var html_title = html.match("<title>(.*?)</title>")[1];

You can try something like:

var title = document.title;

After seeing your edited question I guess what you wanted as the others remark is:

jQuery.get('<url of the page you want>', function(data) {
    var title =  jQuery(data).title;
});

given the url is of the same origin:

$.get('page.html', function(text) {
    var pagetitle = $(text).title;
});
