Hi Kalpa, As it seems, the best way to proceed with your requirement is introducing a meta data API. It is not a good practice access parent window within a gadget as it may cause cross domain issues.
WRT to pages with multiple words page titles, did you try fetching the page title from the parents respective DOM element, instead of the URL? If we can get that from the DOM, spaces won't be an issue anymore.
