title: How can I use XMLHttpRequest to grab the title of a page and return it to my page?
body: <p>I got the basic understanding of AJAX down, but I am not sure if there is a way to just use it to read a DOM and send the information back to be used on a page...</p>
  
  <p>In my specific case, links to news stories are being stored in my database, and I am trying to get the text between <code>&lt;a href&gt; and &lt;/a&gt;</code> to be populated with the actual title of the story. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? Thanks</p>
