Using switch to windows and printing the title doesn t print the title in Selenium webdriver

Question

I am using switch_to_windows() command for printing the title, but it  doesn't print the title in Selenium web driver

Below is the code:

for handle in browser.window_handles:
    print "Handle = ",handle
    browser.switch_to_window(handle);
    element = browser.find_element_by_tag_name("title")
    print element.get_attribute("value")

I am getting the following output

Handle =  {564f8459-dd20-45b8-84bf-97c69f369738}
None
Handle =  {85338322-5e58-4445-8fe3-3e822d5a0caf}
None

After getting the handle I switch to the window and want to print the title. But I not seeing any title. When I see the HTML page I see the title tag there but not able to get it here.

Answer 1

The title of the page will not be in a value attribute of the title element, it will be in the text contents of that element.

The correct way to access that text would be browser.find_element_by_tag_name("title").text

Or you can, just access browser.title.
