Hi Tina,

To get the title of the webpage use:

var $Title = window.document.title;
_alert($Title);

Hi Tina,

Try _title() API to get title of the webpage.

_alert(_title());

would display a Popup window with the title of the webpage.

Thanks Theeran & Sumitra for this.

Can you please tell me how to check meta tags of a page?

if i want to check this :-
<meta name="description" content=" Rich Foods List, Nutrition Facts and Rankings. Compare options and find healthier eats. Practical Nutrition Information and personalized analysis totally free." />

then what i have to write ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tina,

Try with the following Script,

<browser>
function getMetaTagHtml(){
    var $b=document.getElementsByTagName("meta")[0].content;
    return $b;
}
</browser>
var $c;
_set($c,getMetaTagHtml());
_assertEqual("String to be matched",$c);

Assertion can be done with any of the meta Tag attributes and you can check your meta Tag.

Hi Tina,

If your source page contains more than one meta tags then you will have to know the meta tag on which you want to do assertion.

In your case, it should be:

<browser>
function getMetaTagHtml(){
    var $b=document.getElementsByTagName("meta")[0].content;
    return $b;
}
</browser>
var $c;
_set($c,getMetaTagHtml());
_assertEqual("Rich Foods List, Nutrition Facts and Rankings. Compare options and find healthier eats. Practical Nutrition Information and personalized analysis totally free.",$c);

Let me know if this solves your issue.

Hi Sumitra,

Thanks, your code is working. But I don't know why I am facing problem in matching two strings.

i am doing it like this :-


function metacheck($pageTitle,$meta_description)
{
var pTitle = _title();
var $b=document.getElementsByTagName("meta")[3].content;

if(pTitle == $pageTitle){
_log('Correct page title', 'success');
}
else{
_log('Incorrect page title', 'failure');
}

if($b == $meta_description){
_log('Correct meta description', 'success');
}
else{
_log('Incorrect meta description', 'failure');
}

_alert($b);
_alert($meta_description);

}



and passing this function :-

//seo check
var $seo_title = "Rich Foods - Ranked List";
var $seo_description =" Rich Foods List, Nutrition Facts and Rankings. Compare options and find healthier eats. Practical Nutrition Information and personalized analysis totally free.";
_include("nr_common.sah");

metacheck($seo_title,$seo_description);



Can you please tell me, where i am doing mistake?


Thanks,

Hi Tina,

Try with this code:

function metacheck($pageTitle,$meta_description) 
{
var $Title = _title();
_set($b, document.getElementsByTagName("meta")[3].content);
    if($Title == $pageTitle){
    _log('Correct page title', 'success');
    }
    else{
    _log('Incorrect page title', 'failure');
    }

    if($b == $meta_description){
    _log('Correct meta description', 'success');
    }
    else{
    _log('Incorrect meta description', 'failure');
    }
_alert($b);
_alert($meta_description);
}

Check if this solves your issue.
