Grabbing referring page title

[soon]

I've developed an automated PHP HTML to Javascript on-the-fly parser so that people can do easy content-sharing of their pages to other sites:

http://www.gospelcom.net/guide/resources/content-sharing.php

To help people offer some site-wide ready-to-paste code for the sharing of any particular page, I have suggested how they can automate this too, using PHP, and also using Javascript if they do not have the use of PHP on their server, yet can find someone else to host the PHP parser script.

I.e. when the read-to-paste code is at the end of the same page, it automatically inserts the current page URL into the jump code, and the page title into the noscript code.

If the ready-to-paste code is on a referring page, it is still possible to do the URL and title using PHP. But I have not yet found a way of doing the title with javascript. So - does anyone know how to grab the words in the title tag of a referring page, and display them visibly on another page?

It would be practical to put some script on the referring page as well as the recipient page, if necessary.

Thanks for any wisdom

Best wishes

Javascript cannot look at a file. It can only look at another window object.

You could pass the title of the document in the search string and grab it in the new document. Or, you could use a cookie to place the document title on the client. Either method would require script in both pages.
