Getting this does work, but the value returned on the windowsarray [index].tabs[0].title is not the value given to the window during the window.open call.
If I call window.open( blah, "mypage", blah) I was expecting to get "mypage" as the title. The value I am getting is the real title that appears on the window to the right of the Chrome logo in the upper left of the window. The value that I am looking for is found on the window DOM object. It's window.name. window.name is what is set by the second parm in the window.open call. On Sep 24, 12:09 am, Erik Kay <erik...@chromium.org> wrote: > title is in the tab object.
