I want the title of a document

[Greg Brewer]

I am trying to retrieve the title of a document.

The following works
-------
var special = window.open("Special/t.html","subWindow", "width=1,height=1");
if (special)
{
document.write("<a href='Special/t.html'>",special.document.title,"</a><br
/>");
special.close();
}
else
document.write("failed. :-(");
---------
however there is some flash as it draws the window and places it on the
Windows taskbar then removes it.

Is there a better way to get the title?
Is there a way to block display of the window?
