I am faced with a challenge involving two files: index.html and index2.html. Both of these files reside in the same directory on a local machine, without access to PHP or other server-side languages.
My goal is to extract the
<title>Page Title</title>
from index.html and dynamically insert it into a div.content element within index2.html using jQuery. Currently, my code in index2.html looks like this:
$('.content').load("index.html title");
However, I have discovered that this approach is not functioning as expected, especially after reading the official documentation, which explains:
"jQuery utilizes the browser's .innerHTML property to process the retrieved document and inject it into the current document. In doing so, some elements such as <html>, <title>, or <head> are often stripped from the content. Consequently, the elements fetched by .load() may differ from what the browser would fetch directly."
Is there a way for me to successfully extract the title from index.html and place it inside the div.content element in index2.html using jQuery?
